Cricket anyone? Yes, between two Aussies at the Australian PGA golf tournament
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) --- With the high-profile Ashes cricket series between
Australia and England underway, a pair of Australian golfers helped highlight
the sport during the second round of the Australian PGA Championship on Friday.
Australia leads the five-test cricket series 1-0 after a win in the first match
ending earlier this week in Perth, which was possibly why Adam Scott and Min
Woo Lee were happy to be making a reference to cricket at Royal Queensland on
Friday afternoon.
With the big-hitting Scott on the tee at the par-4 12th hole, the group on the
green which included Lee waved Scott's group up to tee off. Scott proceeded to
drive the green on the 296-meter (323-yard) hole.
When the ball bounced on to the green, Lee used his putter in an obvious
cricket stance in a comical attempt to bat away Scott's ball.
Scott birdied the hole to finish with a 68. Lee had a 66 and both were among
the leaders after two rounds.
