TEENAGE golfing prodigy Kurt Burns will not alter his game plan despite holding a five-shot lead heading into this weekend's final two rounds of the Wagga Country Club championships.

Burns shot a sizzling opening round 68 and then followed it up with an even par round of 72 to lead experienced Country Club golfer Brian Harris by five shots at the halfway mark of the event.

The third and fourth rounds will be held this weekend and Burns does not believe he is over the line yet, despite being an unbackable favourite.

"Not yet, hopefully a nice solid third round should put me in a good spot," Burns said.

"The plan is just to play the same I've been playing, fairways and greens.

"That was my thoughts for the first and second rounds and if I hit the fairways and hit the greens then I'm not going to have a bad game doing that."

Burns, 17, has spent the week at home in Wagga.

He moved to Sydney in July last year to attend golf college, consisting of "90 per cent" golf where he will finish with a sports diploma.

Burns has been out at the Country Club each day this week to ensure he does not lose touch.

Burns sees Harris as a serious contender.

"He's very consistent," he said.

"He's probably not going to have many over par, or not many under par either.

"He'll be around that even mark."

Burns will not let the consistency of Harris change how he approaches the final two rounds.

"I'll just play my own game," he said.

Burns went down in a play-off to miss out on the title in 2012 and missed last year's championships.

He admits he would love to win the title.

"It would be good to get the monkey off the back and finally win the club championships," he said.

"It would be good for my confidence as well.

"It will show I've actually improved my game since moving away."

Burns sits on 140 with Harris on 145.

Defending champion Jarrod Meacham and Dave McGrath are a further eight shots back in a tie for third on 153.
