NEW DELHI: With the high-voltage Ashes series between Australia and England in full swing, two of Australia’s top golfers brought a touch of cricket flair to the Australian PGA Championship on Friday.

As Australia hold a 1-0 lead in the five-Test series following their victory in the opener earlier this week in Perth, Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee appeared more than happy to lean into the cricket fever at Royal Queensland during the second round.

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.
