Evans joint second after terrific 66

GARY EVANS produced a magnificent display to reach halfway at the ANZ Championship only one point off the lead.

On the day Great Britain were predictably swept aside by Australia in the Davis Cup down the road in western Sydney, Evans shot a 66 to nestle into the upper reaches of a crowded leaderboard.

Evans was tied for second on 21 points with Craig Parry, Jarrod Moseley and New Zealand’s Richard Lee, the only other non-Australian in the top eight.
