The second round of the Australian amateur golf championship was played in fine weather. Fawcett beat Stnrrock, 9 and 8; Hancock beat Jackson, 3 and 2; Kcane beat Schlapp, 5 and 3; Ncttlefold beat Duncan, 5 and 4. Nettlefold, playing impressive golf, was 3 up on Duncan after the morning round. Duncan's putting was weak throughout, except for an occasional green. A hooked iron and a weak short pitch to the second cost Duncan the hole, and then he took three putts on the third and was 2 down. Duncan won the fourth with a beautiful mashie and long putt. Nettlefold was 2 up again at the fifth, but lost the sixth and seventh, and the match • was square. Nettlefold won the ninth and turned for home 1 up. With a thirty-foot putt on the eleventh Duncan again squared the match. After hooking a drive and playing a poor second Nettlefold was lucky to win the thirteenth, Duncan taking three putts. Nettlefold with a nice wood and iron was well on the sixteenth green, and a four made him 2 up. Duncan took another three putts on the seventeenth and was lucky to halve. Nettleford won the eighteenth, 4-5, and was 3 up. In the afternoon Nettlefold won the match, 5 and 4.
