Western Australia’s Hayden Hopewell has moved into the lead in the 2019 Men’s Tasmanian Open Golf Championship at Ulverstone.

The 17-year-old Royal Fremantle member carded a one-under-par 71 during today’s third round to lead the field at four-under.

Overnight leader, Adam Thorp from the Federal Golf Club in the Australian Capital Territory, dropped to equal third alongside Launceston‘s Mitch Van Noord.

Thorp carded a five-over 77 while Van Noord managed a 74 to finish the day on even-par for the tournament.

The pair sits two strokes behind second placed Aiden Didone from the Metropolitan Golf Club in Victoria.

Didone moved up the leader board with a well-played two-under-par round of 70 and sits well within striking distance with one round to go.
