Joe Blair will carry the No.1 seeding into the final of the men's shootout on Saturday.
Blair finished on a qualifying net total of 263 — two strokes ahead of John Neilson and Simon Pittar.

Gray power is back.
He may have won his division at the recent Poverty Bay Open but it has been lean pickings form-wise for Gray Clapham in recent times . . . that was until last week.
Clapham, who has battled the dreaded s-word, won the division 2 men's stableford on Thursday with 85-17-68, for 40 points and including a two, then shot 85-16-69, for 39 points, to win his division on Saturday.
Peter Kerekere produced one of the club rounds of the year so far in Sunday's heavy conditions, although it was only good enough for second.
Kerekere went out in 4-under 32 and was 6-under after 12 holes only to have, in his own words, “a couple of dumb bogeys (14th and 17th holes)” for 68.
