Andrew Martin among Saturday field at Victorian Open

Martin started his Open campaign on Thursday with a six-under par 66 on the Beach Course.

He kicked off the front-nine with a bogey on the par-four first and then went on a spree with four birdies before the turn.

He then made another three birdies on the back to finish at six-under.

On Friday Martin tackled the Creek course with one-over on the front-nine, followed by a one-over on the back to finish the round at two-over.

On Friday afternoon at the time of publication he was four-under total and T-26 on the men's leaderboard.

The Open includes a mixed-gender format with both men and women competing simultaneously for equal prize money.

Meanwhile, Lucas Herbert finished round one of the PGA Tour Phoenix Open at one-under par - six shots behind leader Sahith Theegala.
