Richard Green soars up leaderboard with sizzling 64 at Victorian Open Richard Green. RICHARD Green knew it was close. The highest-ranked player in the Victorian Open field, Green, 41, carved seven birdies and an eagle in his opening 12 holes today to join Michael Choi as course record holder at 13th Beach Golf Links with a dazzling eight-under 64. And on a day custom-made for low scores, Matt Griffing followed minutes later with his own 65 as the pair shot up to eight under overall, tied for third minutes before the leaders are due off. Green's round came less than 24 hours after he threatened to find his old form with five early birdies in the third round before fading with a triple bogey and two other dropped shots that irritated the three-time European Tour winner. I felt like I had it going yesterday, but made a schoolboy error ... the course bit me ... and I blew my chances (of victory). I've been hitting it well all week, so i was just waiting for it to go, so it was nice to get it out there and play nicely. It's always felt like it's there, but there have been a few little shots here and there that have cost me a lot over the last few years, but when you shoot rounds like you do today ... it was nice - a good feeling to have it back. Nathan Holman will lead out the field at 10 under this afternoon on a jam-packed men's leaderboard, while Stacey Keating has a four-shot lead in the women's event being held concurrently.
