Godby (New Zealand), 97. Ward played excellent tee shots but early was astray with his approaches, making several visits to the bunkers. Later he missed half-a-dozen short putts but generally played very sound golf. Godby started with an eight at a par four hole and thereafter played completely without confidence, being frequently in the rough. He also took three putts at a number of greens. Perrier disappointed, being erratic 'with his irons.
