A THRILLING top-of-the-table clash headlined Round 12 in the Coates Talent League, though the remaining five fixtures threw up much wider margins. Plenty of representative stars were in action over the weekend, and we focussed in on them for the latest edition of Scouting Notes.

>> CTL ROUND 12: Snapshot | Player of the Week | Team of the Week

Gippsland Power 9.8 (62) def. Eastern Ranges 8.11 (59)

By: Michael Alvaro

GIPPSLAND POWER:

#7 Willem Duursma
Defender/Forward | 191cm | 21/06/2007

Stats: 21 disposals, 9 marks, 2 goals

While his recent reversion to defence is perhaps a sighter of what’s to come for Vic Country, Duursma ended up playing a key role in deciding the result up forward. He swung into attack for the final quarter and booted two goals to solidify Gippsland’s comeback, also going on to impact key aerial contests at the death. Earlier, he showcased his marking ability with clean intercepts and looked to take the game on with speed on the rebound. Few others can cover ground as effortlessly, though Duursma was tested defensively by strong-marking Eastern forward Charlie Sizer. He also had some positive moments by foot – preferring to go long and flat rather than short.

#10 Cody Templeton
Midfielder | 179cm | 01/01/2008

Stats: 24 disposals, 5 clearances, 6 inside 50s

While quite often labelled a crash-and-bash type, Templeton showed class with some of his ball use on Saturday. The bottom-ager picked out a few bold inboard kicks, backing his skills to change angles and attack the corridor. He also provided his usual energy through the middle with bursts of speed to accelerate forward and pump the ball inside 50. His lone goal came from a snap around the body in term two after marking near the boundary line.

#24 Brodie Atkins
Midfielder | 181cm | 25/01/2007

Stats: 30 disposals, 7 clearances, 6 inside 50s

The leading ball winner afield, Atkins had nearly half (13) of his 30 disposals in the third quarter. He was powerful and direct in his approach, dishing off handballs with no frills and driving the ball long by foot. What made his third term so great was his ability to link up with teammates by hand, creating running waves through the centre and showcasing his work rate away from stoppages.

EASTERN RANGES:

#1 Blake Chambers
Wing | 182cm | 31/05/2007

Stats: 20 disposals, 3 marks, 2 rebound 50s

Some of Chambers’ ball use on Saturday was absurdly good, as per usual, hitting the ball sweetly with both feet. Agile without being overly powerful, the wingman was most effective when able to cut in or out and carve passes around his body, making for dangerous angle changes. That kind of play is his weapon, and he made Gippsland pay when afforded time and space. As all wingers should, Chambers tracked both ways to help start and end transitional passages.

#31 Andrew Barker
Tall Defender | 191cm | 18/06/2007

Stats: 21 disposals, 4 marks, 10 rebound 50s

Taking the field without defensive partner-in-crime Xavier Taylor, Barker took on even more responsibility to be expansive on the rebound. He was Eastern’s main distributor out of the last line, taking ground and often running hard to get the ball back after his initial possession. Barker’s aggressive forays up the field were complimented by solid acts deeper in defence, where he held his own one-on-one and was able to impact aerially. He took a huge speccy late in the third quarter and saw plenty of ball come back his way, so was made to repel on repeat.

#37 Rod Ali
Defender | 186cm | 11/01/2006

Stats: 13 disposals, 7 marks, 3 tackles

Much like Barker, Ali was made to showcase different sides to his game with more attacking vigour to match his defensive nature. Still, he thrived on being accountable and applied terrific pressure to split contests and follow up at ground level. Ali’s speed and leap meant he was hardly beaten on the lead, even against taller opponents, although Duursma gave him some headaches one-on-one late in the game. When able to intercept, the over-ager marked cleanly and attempted to take the game on with counterattacking run – that’s an area he can continue to develop.

GWV Rebels 13.12 (90) def. Northern Knights 6.10 (46)

By: Michael Alvaro

GWV REBELS:

#5 Floyd Burmeister
Key Forward/Ruck | 199cm | 04/05/2006

Stats: 8 disposals, 3 marks, 3 behinds

The stats don’t flatter Burmeister but he showed his usual traits in a variety of roles on Saturday. Starting in his usual post up forward, he was faced with a tough aerial matchup in fellow over-ager Gabriel Stumpf, but still managed a couple of shots on goal in the first half. One came after a courageous mark coming back with the flight, and Burmeister looked dangerous when using his speed, reach and extension to present at the ball. In a sign of how highly his versatility is rated, he attended centre bounces both as a ruck and rover in the second half.

#9 Talor Byrne
Small Forward | 174cm | 14/11/2007

Stats: 22 disposals, 9 tackles, 3 goals

Having often cut his teeth as a midfielder this season, Byrne was utilised exclusively as a forward on Saturday – perhaps hinting at a possible role for Vic Country. The powerhouse small was clever around goal, hitting the scoreboard after drawing several free kicks as reward for his efforts up the ground. Byrne often cleared out the forward 50 and was a reliable connection piece between the arcs, using his running power and punchy kicking to surge forward. The top-ager’s desperate tackling was also a highlight, lunging to catch opponents and locking them up with strength.

#22 Charlie McKinnon
Tall Forward | 190cm | 25/10/2007

Stats: 8 disposals, 7 marks, 3 goals

McKinnon feasted within his usual close radius to goal, as Northern struggled to find a matchup for his power and craft. The 190cm goalkicker outmuscled his opponents one-on-one and reacted early to play up the field when hitting up on leads. His hands were clean and he shared the love with an assist for Byrne in the final quarter, having converted three of his own set shot opportunities.

#23 Flynn Penry
Ruck | 201cm | 20/04/2006

Stats: 24 disposals, 7 marks, 31 hitouts

Penry has put up some big numbers this year and continued his domination of the ruck domain with another strong performance. This time he extended his impact to marks around the ground, dropping back inside defensive 50 and getting involved in slow play. The over-ager was also prominent at the coalface with seven clearances to go with his 31 hitouts, proving difficult to move off the line of the ball. Instead of driving his legs, Penry would use his size and absorb pressure before dishing the ball out once he had taken possession in tight spots.

NORTHERN KNIGHTS:

#2 Sebastian Murphy
Midfielder | 176cm | 23/10/2007

Stats: 28 disposals, 7 clearances, 8 inside 50s

It was another industrious outing from Murphy, who led all comers once again. He seemed to be everywhere in the first 15 minutes, swooping on ground balls at stoppage and spreading hard to be involved several times in single passages. Murphy’s strong numbers are a direct product of his courage and work rate, often made to punch above his weight and get to as many contests as possible. His ball use can be scrappy at times but he cannot be faulted for effort.

#3 Tyson Gresham
Small Forward/Midfielder | 169cm | 21/06/2007

Stats: 16 disposals, 6 tackles, 5 inside 50s

If the phrase ‘it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog’ was penned for any one prospect this year, it’s Gresham. Despite being the smallest player afield, he added real grunt an energy to the Knights’ engine room after half time, playing with great two-way intensity. Before having a dip in midfield, he worked hard to provide connection up the ground as a forward, linking with teammates by hand and proving evasive when doing so.

#23 Gabriel Stumpf
Key Defender | 196cm | 23/11/2006

Stats: 21 disposals, 4 marks, 11 rebound 50s

Stumpf can walk away from a tough loss with his head held high having kept his direct opponent goalless. The over-ager only took four marks but nabbed a pair of intercepts early on to showcase his play reading and aerial ability. Stumpf’s modus operandi was to play loose and cut off long, indirect opposition kicks, which meant Burmeister could catch him out on the lead. He was also a trusted distributor out of defence, though could have been a little tidier in pressure situations.

Tasmania Devils 12.7 (79) def. Sandringham Dragons 6.15 (51)

By: Michael Alvaro

TASMANIA DEVILS:

#4 Jack Miller
Small Forward | 181cm | 13/04/2007

Stats: 14 disposals, 5 marks, 2 goals

Miller showed plenty of smarts in the front half, kicking 2.2 but producing more opportunities than those four scoring shots. His eyes lit up when within range of the big sticks and he was able to get dangerous both on the lead and in open play. Miller was difficult to stop when presenting at the kicker, and showed good hunt to provide pressure up the ground when Tasmania’s scoring dried up in term three. On another day, he could have finished with four or five goals.

#7 Jasper Hay
Ruck | 199cm | 10/05/2007

Stats: 18 disposals, 2 marks, 29 hitouts

Having spent much of the year playing primarily as a key defender, Hay returned to his base position in the ruck with strong results. His spring-heeled leap combined with craft and competitiveness saw him get first hand on the ball for 29 hitouts, leading a 14-3 advantage at the centre bounces. Hay also covered the ground well, dropping back for a pair of intercept marks and looking to get involved in transitional ball movement. His mobility and rangy frame made him effective in both departments.

#9 Toby Callow
Defender | 187cm | 28/07/2007

Stats: 17 disposals, 9 marks, 7 rebound 50s

Much like his elder brother Jackson was famed for, Toby Callow seems to have buckets for hands. He plays above his 187cm standing and did so again on Sunday, clunking an array of intercept marks. The Allies representative also showcased his punchy kicking on the rebound, moving the ball on quickly and finding good range on his passes. Such play, combined with a bit of run and connection on the rebound, will help add weapons to Callow’s mark-heavy game.

#19 Lucas Wootton
Midfielder | 179cm | 11/05/2007

Stats: 29 disposals, 5 tackles, 5 clearances

Wootton led all comers with a personal-best 29 disposals on Sunday, balancing his work between the inside and outside. He was clean at ground level and spread hard in attacking phases to provide consecutive goal assists in the second term, using the ball neatly by hand and foot. Wootton’s ability to burst or draw opponents before cutting through traffic allowed him to find effective stoppage exits. He also used his speed defensively with a terrific chase in the third quarter.

SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS:

#12 Keanu Nadji
Defender | 188cm | 21/05/2007

Stats: 19 disposals, 6 marks, 1 goal

In only his fourth game at the level, Nadji showed solidity in defence despite being tested by tough matchups like Miller. He looked assured with ball in hand and among his six marks were several intercepts, impressively able to do so while holding a high line up the ground. Nadji’s ball use was sound and he bagged a set shot goal in the third quarter on the end of a 50m penalty.

#27/78 Xavier Bamert
Midfielder/Forward | 186cm | 29/01/2007

Stats: 28 disposals, 6 marks, 5 inside 50s

It was a typically tough outing from Bamert, who emerged with a different jumper in term two while sporting tape around his head. Whether in midfield or up forward, the Sandringham skipper attacked the ball full-chested and showed great power in his running. Despite some sharp passes on the outside, he often blazed away by foot or disposed of the ball while driving his legs through contact. He finished with 1.2 after a straight set shot in the third quarter, but should have had another major as reward for his pack mark in the fourth. He’s all heart.

#60 Sacha Levine
Midfielder | 188cm | 26/04/2007

Stats: 25 disposals, 5 inside 50s, 2 goals

An efficient player on the inside, Levine added some hurt factor to his game with two goals on Sunday. His first came early on, pouncing on a turnover at half-forward to drive the ball home from long-range. The top-ager was near-flawless by hand and found clean exits from congestion, though missed out with another couple of set shots on goal.

Western Jets 15.12 (102) def. Calder Cannons 10.12 (72)

By: Adrian Dixon

WESTERN JETS:

#1 Khaled El Souki
Small Forward | 173cm | 04/07/2008

Stats: 15 disposals, 7 tackles, 4 goals

El Souki provided great pressure in the forwardline and after some persistence, kicked his first goal of the day from a long-range snap a few minutes before half time. Along with his scoreboard impact, the bottom-ager also pushed up the ground and looked dangerous kicking inside 50. He peppered the goals in term four for a return of three behinds, before positioning himself well to mark deep in the pocket and play on for goal number three. He then kicked his fourth on the run where he broke a tackle to kill off the contest.

#4 Rani Pavlidis
Wing | 174cm | 19/09/2007

Stats: 23 disposals, 4 marks, 6 inside 50s

Pavlidis’ kicking was efficient and he was quick to locate his teammates while providing great spread around the ground. He started the second quarter on the wing and laid a rundown tackle that eventually found Oskar Ainsworth for his first goal for the day. He then followed up with a great chaos delivery inside 50 that caused the Calder defence to scramble. Pavlidis took risks with his kicking and utilised angles when he needed to. Despite lacking size, Pavlidis was able to break tackles and showed good vision to dispose of the ball and positioned well to keep the ball alive.

#7 Thomas McGuane
Midfielder | 178cm | 27/08/2007

Stats: 24 disposals, 5 marks, 6 inside 50s

A great tackle early resulting in a holding the ball free kick set the tone early for McGuane, along with his distribution by foot. He provided plenty of talk and drove standards, especially early in the last quarter with the game in the balance, where he lifted a gear to be the driving force behind the Jets breaking away. McGuane was strong and dominant in the clearances and provided quick hands at all costs to keep the play moving. A great kick off one step which was virtually a lob to find Ainsworth on a lead showcased his high-level smarts and skill.

#10 Thomas Burton
Midfielder | 178cm | 09/01/2007

Stats: 28 disposals, 10 tackles, 5 clearances

Burton won the first clearance of the game and his in-and-under work at the contest was a highlight, setting the tone for the game. He provided a physical presence in the midfield with his strong tackle pressure in critical moments. Doing so when the Cannons got a run on proved to be the difference for his side, and on many occasions he provided plenty of run on the overlap. Burton’s work at ground level was also dangerous and he looked to keep the play moving quickly at all costs, which contributed to many crucial attacking chains of play for the Jets.

#25 Oskar Ainsworth
Midfielder/Forward | 186cm | 26/04/2007

Stats: 21 disposals, 10 marks, 5 goals

In the performance which earned him elevation to Vic Metro’s training squad, Ainsworth would start up forward before rotating into the midfield. He got going in the second quarter, hitting the scoreboard with a strong mark and goal directly in front, and could easily have had another minutes later, however decided to handball off to a teammate. That kind of play was indicative of Ainsworth’s day, able to mark in scoring positions and either convert or allow teammates to do so. He provided great drive for his side when in midfield, knowing when to execute with his running. His marking was strong, especially while outnumbered, but he can still develop his decision making and positioning.

#26 Finn Davis
Defender | 187cm | 21/01/2007

Stats: 25 disposals, 4 marks, 8 rebound 50s

Davis pushed up the ground well as a defender and found Charlie MacKenzie-George early for a mark inside 50. He provided great distribution from the backline and his defensive work was excellent, especially with his spoiling. Davis was a rock at the back and read the play smartly with his strong hands, and despite been undersized, held up with his core strength against bigger bodies. Davis again pushed up the ground in the last quarter and used the angles to find Ainsworth on a lead, who eventually managed goal number five.

CALDER CANNONS:

#8 Jack Dodorico
Defender/Midfielder | 178cm | 30/05/2008

Stats: 19 disposals, 6 marks, 6 inside 50s

Dodorico’s play reading ability and vision to find a teammate ahead of the ground ended up leading to Taj Robinson kicking his first goal for the day after intercepting a ball that he previously had turned over. Rotating between the midfield and half-back, Dodorico continually provided excellent distribution of the ball by foot, especially when going long which would put pressure on the Jets’ defence. Dodorico took a great intercept mark from a kick-in, where he speared a pass to Adam Sweid at the top of the 50, highlighting his ability to anticipate the play.

#12 Taj Robinson
Tall Forward | 190cm | 10/01/2007

Stats: 8 disposals, 6 marks, 4 goals

Robinson was a shining light in Calder’s loss. He started with a strong mark late in the first quarter, leading towards the boundary and converting the set shot kick around the body for a goal. Robinson’s strength to compete one-on-one held up well in many contests, and late in the first quarter he juggled a great contested mark which led to a set shot kick at goal straight in front. The third quarter saw Robinson feature prominently, firstly with a mark on a lead, and while he did his best with the wind, his shot hit the post. He then took another great mark overhead and lined up for goal on the same angle and hit the post again. Robinson finally kicked his fourth goal from directly in front in the fourth quarter, capping off another strong scoring day for the athletic tall.

#23 Adam Sweid
Midfielder | 175cm | 14/09/2007

Stats: 23 disposals, 4 tackles, 1 goal

Despite a sluggish first quarter, Sweid would continue to try hard all day for the Cannons. He showcased his evasiveness and ability to shrug tackles, while also setting up his teammates with some nice deliveries by foot – including one in the second quarter where he found Hamish Bird. Sweid would cash in on a turnover in the second quarter to goal, and later he attempt a shot on goal from the boundary which hit the post. Sweid took a great mark in the third quarter when it looked like he wasn’t anticipating taking a mark himself, further highlighting his solid reflexes.

#34 Blake Justice
Wing | 190cm | 29/09/2008

Stats: 24 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles

Justice worked hard all day, from start to finish. The Essendon NGA prospect was piercing with his delivery inside 50, helping set up scores with great vision and hands, or with long balls over the back. Not long before half time, Justice positioned himself well enough to receive the ball, then showed great evasiveness to kick around the body and find Robinson for a mark deep inside 50, going on to slot his third goal of the day.

Bendigo Pioneers 14.12 (96) def. Geelong Falcons 9.10 (64)

By: Michael Alvaro

BENDIGO PIONEERS:

#1 Cody Walker
Midfielder | 184cm | 26/01/2008

Stats: 22 disposals, 4 clearances, 6 inside 50s

It was a scrappy kind of day for Walker, who looked to implement his power at stoppages. The bottom-ager was combative on the inside and burst into space through sheer will, showcasing explosiveness and a handy turn of speed. His end product lacked with 33 per cent kick efficiency, but Walker worked hard on the spread and did everything to drive his side forward.

#2 Tom Evans
Small Defender | 180cm | 22/02/2006

Stats: 31 disposals, 2 inside 50s, 8 rebound 50s

It’s not unusual to see Evans rack up bulk possessions and he again led all comers with a tally of 31. He was Bendigo’s main distributor from the last line, picking out punchy kicks and getting good length to breach defensive 50. He provided positive overlap run further afield and wanted the ball in his hands during each phase of play. Evans also showed some spring with a couple of aerial efforts, including his high mark in the opening quarter.

#10 Jaidi Jackson-Leahy
Midfielder/Forward | 183cm | 31/01/2007

Stats: 25 disposals, 5 marks, 5 inside 50s

Returning to the fold with a season-high 25 touches, Jackson-Leahy went about his usual business. He was typically clean by hand, taking the ball one-touch at stoppages and overhead, the latter leading to his lone goal in term two. The top-ager had a couple more chances to score in term four but put his shorts wide after marking strongly. Despite that, he played the basics well.

#46 Angus Hoyne
Key Forward/Ruck | 194cm | 19/06/2008

Stats: 12 disposals, 6 marks, 3 goals

Hoyne had his tail up from the early stages on Sunday, booting the game’s first goal after a terrific pack mark. The bottom-ager would go on to become a mobile marking target, presenting well on the lead and displaying a strong set of hands. Hoyne also held his own one-on-one and spent time chopping out in the ruck, though thrived by booting three-straight goals up forward.

#59 Max Thompson
Wing | 175cm | 06/03/2009

Stats: 16 disposals, 7 marks, 1 goal

Having booted five goals for Vic Country’s Under 16s after debuting for Bendigo all the way back in Round 7, it’s clear Thompson is going to be a very good player. In fact, he already is, and showed a high level of smarts moving forward from the wing. Thompson’s ball use was terrific, identifying targets and executing sharp kicks around his body to work tricky angles. He was a great outlet on the outside and made himself a threat inside 50, kicking 1.2 in a positive outing.

GEELONG FALCONS:

#10 Hugo Mikunda
Midfielder | 180cm | 13/03/2007

Stats: 17 disposals, 5 marks, 5 inside 50s

There weren’t too many winners for the Falcons on Sunday, but Mikunda showed class. His timing in attacking phases was terrific, able to latch onto forward handballs away from stoppage and drive the ball into attack. His ability overhead was proven with a speccy on the last line of defence in term two, followed by a strong intercept mark in the third. He was dangerous at ground level too, snapping up a half-volley before wheeling around for a long-range goal in the fourth quarter.

#13 Rilley Aquilina
Wing/Midfielder | 181cm | 27/11/2007

Stats: 16 disposals, 5 tackles, 5 inside 50s

Aquilina was again utilised on both sides of midfield, starting out on the wing before shifting inside. He used his speed to good effect, carrying momentum through ground balls to burst forward and drive the ball deep inside 50. The Vic Country representative also provided great pressure, closing in on opponents to make contact or wrap them up in tackles. Such play means he can balance his attacking forays with hard defensive efforts – a trait suited to the wing role.

Murray Bushrangers 5.4 (34) def. by Dandenong Stingrays 14.8 (92)

By: Michael Alvaro

MURRAY BUSHRANGERS:

#3 Zac Harding
Ruck/Key Forward | 199cm | 01/01/2006

Stats: 17 disposals, 7 marks, 21 hitouts

Harding broke new ground with a season-high seven marks on Sunday, proving he can impact both at the contest and around the ground. Perhaps most impressive, though, was his ability to execute kicks with either foot, showcasing terrific touch and skill for a big man. The over-ager tracked nicely into either arc when required, including late in term four where he marked and unselfishly found Cody Gardiner for the game’s last goal.

#15 Harry Dean
Key Defender | 193cm | 13/11/2007

Stats: 14 disposals, 7 marks, 2 clearances

Usually assured and dominant on the intercept, Dean found the going a little tougher on Sunday. He still got his hands on the ball with plenty of slow play inside defensive 50, also helping escort the ball out by hand and foot under greater pressure. Dean’s typically neat disposal was tested at times, as was ability to defend leading forwards as Dandenong piled on 53 inside 50s.

#24 Harry Moon
Key Defender | 196cm | 26/08/2007

Stats: 7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 tackles

Not one to stuff the stats sheet, Moon had some positive moments in the defensive aspect. He reeled in a terrific high mark in the final quarter having battled all day alongside Dean to thwart the likes of Vic Country teammate Tairon Ah-Mu. While that task proved steep, Moon made some good reads to intercept up the ground and used his momentum to help drive the ball forward.

DANDENONG STINGRAYS:

#3 Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves
Forward | 186cm | 16/11/2007

Stats: 12 disposals, 7 marks, 2 goals

Booting multiple goals for just the second time this season, Hibbins-Hargreaves was classy as ever in the forward half. He made a habit of marking uncontested with leads to the pocket, showcasing reliable patterns and great timing to rack up seven marks. He slotted a terrific set shot goal from the wrong side boundary for a right-footer, booting both his majors in the opening 10 minutes. While his scoring dried up after half time, that kind of play proved Hibbins-Hargreaves’ bread and butter.

#4 Marcus Prasad
Small Forward | 167cm | 23/03/2008

Stats: 14 disposals, 6 inside 50s, 1 goal

Prasad’s ability to help Dandenong connect the middle and forward line was outstanding, as he worked hard up the ground and drilled creative passes inside 50. The bottom-ager injected speed and skill to the game, particularly after quarter time as he racked up the score involvements. Prasad also found the goals himself with a snap in term three and went on to spend time on the wing.

#11 Toby Sinnema
Wing/Midfielder | 180cm | 11/12/2007

Stats: 19 disposals, 7 marks, 4 rebound 50s

Sinnema was sighted at the opening centre bounce but ended up spending plenty of time out on the wing. For a player with prominent outside traits, he proved he can scrap but looked much more dangerous away from congestion. The Melbourne NGA prospect displayed his dangerous step through traffic and wasn’t afraid to take on opponents, proving evasive on his way forward.

#18 Darcy Szerszyn
Defender | 188cm | 20/05/2008

Stats: 12 disposals, 5 marks, 3 tackles

A marking machine behind the ball, Szerszyn intercepted cleanly and did so while taking up a high line. His reading of the play and assured handling allowed Dandenong to lock the ball in its front half, piling sustained pressure on Murray. The bottom-ager’s leap is impressive, as is his willingness to compete and follow up at ground level after splitting aerial contests.

#19 JayDe Varlet
Midfielder/Forward | 181cm | 26/07/2007

Stats: 19 disposals, 3 clearances, 5 inside 50s

Named best-on by his coaches, Varlet’s weekend was made even better after being called up to the Vic Country squad. The explosive utility provided continual drive for Dandenong, setting off in short bursts to carry the ball forward and breach attacking 50. Along with Prasad, his ability to connect the lines throughout the day made him a prominent factor in the win. The potential is there.

#64 Tairon Ah-Mu
Key Forward/Ruck | 198cm | 06/06/2007

Stats: 15 disposals, 29 hitouts, 2 goals

Ah-Mu caused headaches for Murray all day, whether in the ruck or up forward. His physicality and craft were difficult to combat in both roles, and the hulking tall was also a handful on the lead. He presented at the ball full-chested, with defenders struggling to get a spoil in, leading to four shots on goal for a return of two majors. He’ll look to repeat the feat for Vic Country.
