Josh Geary successfully negotiated a windswept afternoon on the Bellarine Peninsula to hold the third-round lead at the 2025 Vic Open at 13th Beach Golf Links.
A two-shot leader at the start of the third round, Geary adopted a conservative approach and played exceptional bogey-free golf in difficult, windy conditions to record a 4-under-par 68.
