Lucas Nemex made the cut in Australia at the start of the season.

Lucas Nemex struggled a bit at the Australian PGA Championship on Friday, but he confidently shot a 72 (+1) at the Royal Queensland GC to make his debut at the new race for Dubai of the season. DB World Tour Write to

Luke Nemex Having traveled to Australia several days ago, Styrian has already settled in well in Brisbane as he got off to a very respectable start with a 68 (-3) at the Royal Queensland GC. 16th and one shot behind the top 10, he’ll have his best finish of the season opener.

However, Friday’s early hours weren’t really helpful, as Luckey made his first bogey on 13. Although he doesn’t really let himself be bothered and continues to focus on the game plan he’s laid out, he runs in vain throughout the nine to achieve his first sense of victory, thus breaking even.

Safe cutting in Australia

The front nine wasn’t exactly exciting, highlighted by another stroke loss at 2, meaning he was slipping menacingly towards the predicted cut-off mark. Just before the end, he got his long-sought birdie on the 3rd of the 8th, which gave him some breathing room again towards the drawn line.

With 72 (+1) he missed the top 10 in Brisbane on Friday, but he enters the weekend at 38 in a solid midfield and will be the first pointer on the season debut amid strong competition from Down Under. In a new race to Dubai.

“It was very difficult to play today because it was very windy and the flags were very heavy. Unfortunately, I didn’t really get close. I also played a little bit badly, but luckily the short game was good today and the putter saved a few times. The important thing is that I write immediately, I’m looking forward to two more days of golf,” were his first words after the round.

Min Woo Lee (AUS) leads the home team with 66 (-5) and a total of 12 under par.
