1<\/span> of 1<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Here\u2019s how the leaderboard is shaping up.<\/p>\n -8: <\/strong>Lucas Herbert, Joel Moscatel (ESP). Others: <\/strong>Adrian Meronk (POL) -3, Cameron Davis -3, Robert MacIntyre (SCO) -2, Cameron Smith +2<\/p>\n The story of the first round was Min Woo Lee\u2019s seven-under 64 which catapulted him to within a shot of the lead from unheralded Spaniard Joel Moscatel, who is not even ranked inside the world\u2019s top 100 players.<\/p>\n Lee is certainly determined to be a showman both on and off the course, as was evidenced by his golf bag.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a report on Australian golf\u2019s biggest rising star and how he\u2019s built a brand as big as his game, while his sister Minjee works her way to the top of the women\u2019s ranks without the fuss.<\/p>\n There weren\u2019t many people watching, and there isn\u2019t really any vision for us to show you, but there\u2019s been a hole-in-one on Royal Queensland\u2019s party hole this morning.<\/p>\n Curtis Luck, the former world No.1 amateur who has had his share of struggles since, aced the 125-metre 17th in front of a very sparse crowd earlier this morning.<\/p>\n Because there\u2019s no daylight savings in Queensland, tee times in the first two rounds have started at 6am local time. It meant by the time Luck plucked a gap wedge into the hole, there weren\u2019t many people on hand to see him dunk the hole-in-one. I bet he wishes it came at about 3pm this afternoon.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll remember it for a long time though.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Hello everyone and welcome to our coverage of the second round from the Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland in Brisbane.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the first of two big weeks for Australian golf with the Australian Open heading to Sydney next week. There\u2019s so much to look forward to this afternoon with a host of big name players out on the course.<\/p>\n How much did Min Woo Lee enjoy Post Malone\u2019s concert last night? What colour shirt will Adam Scott go for today? Will Cameron Smith have to remind himself what it\u2019s like to desperately try to make the cut?<\/p>\n It\u2019s all in store for us for the rest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n Oh, there\u2019s been some big news already this morning…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Min Woo Lee is hunting the lead in the Australian PGA Championship.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Getty<\/cite><\/p>\n 1<\/span> of 1<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\nThe leaderboard<\/h2>\n
