The Te Aroha player shot a superb six-under par 66 to lead the prestigious field including international teams from UK, Scotland, England, USA, Singapore, Korea, New Zealand as well as Australia best.

Holten has a one shot lead over South Australia’s David Lutterus, with a further shot back to Mitchell Brown (New South Wales) at the Riversdale Golf Club.

Fellow Waikato player Mark Purser continued his recent outstanding form to shot a three-under 69 to be in a share of fourth place with three players including world junior champion Jason Day (Queensland).

Brad Iles, who won the foursomes with Holten on Thursday), fired a one-over par 73 while fellow Bay of Plenty golfer Josh Geary had a five-over 77.
