(Report from the scottishgolfview.com website)
Craigielaw's Grant Forrest scraped into the 64 qualifiers for the match-play stages of the Australian amateur championship at Metropolitan and Kingswood golf clubs, Victoria after a second-round 77.
But then the Walker Cup player and 2012 Scottish amateur champion recaptured his form to score a notable first-round win by two holes over the highly-rated Aussie, Kevin Yuan.
There are three Scots through to the last 32.
Connor Syme (Drumoig) beat Mitchell Smith (Australia) 4 and 3, and Jack McDonald (Barassie) bt another Aussie, Jordan Ayre, by one hole.
The only Scot to lose in the opening match-play titles was Walker Cup player Ewen Ferguson who went down by 5 and 3 to Welshman Evan Griffith.
In the second round of matchplay, on Friday, Jack McDonald faces Australian Aiden Didone.
