➡ Joel Moscatel Nachshon has just equalled the Royal Queensland course with an eight-under 63 - and he could have held it outright after missing a birdie putt on the last hole of his opening round.

He now shares the mark with former Australian PGA winner Jed Morgan, who shot an opening round 71 himself.

That’s some story for Moscatel Nachshon, who missed gaining a DP World Tour card by a single stroke at qualifying school recently. He’ll be feeling really good about himself today.

That’s all we’ve got for you from the Australian PGA blog today as the afternoon groups continue out on the course under cloudy skies.➡

It was a morning that belonged to Min Woo Lee (-7) and then Joel Moscatel Nachshon with Cameron Smith (+2) struggling and now facing a battle to make the cut.

Thanks for following and we’ll have more updates from the Australian PGA tomorrow morning.

Spanish bolter takes shock Australian PGA lead

Every year, almost without fail, the Australian PGA or Australian Open will have a bolter in the opening round. We have it again this year.

Spain’s Joel Moscatel Nachshon has just usurped Min Woo Lee for the first round lead and is at eight-under with just one hole left to play after making par on the party hole. I know, I know, you’re all wondering where has he come from and who is he?

Australian Open leader heading straight to Post Malone concert

He’s become synonymous with the “let him cook” cries, and Min Woo Lee has cashed in with a sizzling seven-under 64 to start the tournament.

Playing alongside Cameron Smith and Robert MacIntyre, the world No.43 stole the show this morning as he tries to get over jetlag from last week’s DP World Tour-ending event in Dubai.

➡How does he plan to recover tonight?

“I’m heading to Post Malone’s concert tonight,” Lee joked.

But it was no laughing matter the glut of birdies he rolled in during his inward nine, less than 48 hours after sister Minjee Lee won the Greg Norman Medal as Australia’s best golfer in 2023.

“I definitely want to win the Greg Norman Medal one day,” he said. “To get nominated was good. I didn’t think I had enough to beat her or anyone else [this year].

“I felt really good out there and it’s awesome to have such big crowds, particularly at six o’clock in the morning. I’m happy they came and supported us. This is probably the biggest crowd I’ve got all year with the exception of The Masters and The Open.”
