After a crowded opening day where local favorite Dean Burmester and Englishman Joe Dean set a high bar, Friday's play will test the patience of the world's elite. All eyes remain on Patrick Reed, who needs a quick turnaround after an over-par start to keep his hopes of a third victory this season alive. With the prize for the champion including a historic first-ever invitation to The Masters, the pressure to stay within striking distance of the leaders is at an all-time high on this tight, tree-lined parkland layout. 2440783
