The forecast rain arrived on time but was light, the wind forecast proved an underestimate, making a tough course extremely challenging for the second round of Nomads Compass Series.

Stu James and Tony Male lead the open class with 55 apiece, with Dan McMahan and Adrian Tye just one point behind, and it was good to see Perry Broad back on form to lead the recoiling class with 51.
