NITTTIES WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE AT NEW ZEALAND OPEN

In golf and James Nitties remains in the hunt for the New Zealand Open title, despite a frustrating third round.

Dimi Papadatos from the Central Coast is tied for third, while Charlestown’s Andrew Dodt is still in striking distance.

Nitties carded his third straight round of 66, but it could have been even better.

Time after time he was centimetres away from knocking in birdie or par putts.

Toronto’s Callan O’Reilly sits at 11 under after an up and down round. He had a front row seat as playing partner Brad Shilton chipped in for eagle on 10.
