???1;Golfer Josh Geary has overcome less than ideal conditions to keep himself in the fight for New Zealand Open glory

The Kiwi carded a six under par score of 65 to level with compatriot Daniel Hillier in second -- both of whom are two shots off Australia's Scott Hend at 12-under overall.

Geary says he had a good ball striking day.
