Victorian Andrew Kelly has continued his great run of form to win this year’s $10,000 Lonsdale Pro-Am.
Kelly carded a scintillating six under-par 30 on his front nine before returning home in even-par on the back nine, his six under 65 was good enough to win by two shots.
In a stunning run of form Kelly has won four events since the Victorian season resumed in September.
“I’ve really enjoyed my day, I thought I may have wrecked my chances after being seven under after 10 holes, but it all worked out”, Kelly said at presentations.
The Lonsdale layout was in sensational condition, a change of date to earlier in the season really made the difference, the fairways and greens were both of a world class standard.
It was a picture perfect day on the Bellerine Peninsula, temperatures in the early 30’s with very light winds made scoring conditions ideal.
Following the morning round Kelly held a four shot lead over Victorian Kris Mueck after he fired a respectable two under 69.
The afternoon players got some relief from the heat with the sea breeze blowing in after nine holes, however, it also made birdies a lot harder to come by.
Leighton Lyle fired a great round of four under-par 67 in the tougher afternoon conditions to finish alone in second place.
There was a log jam in third place with David McKenzie, Andrew Tampion, Ryan Lynch and Andrew Gott all tied on three under 68.
The next stop on the Choice Hotels PGA Pro-Am Series is the $20,000 Eastwood Pro-Am on Wednesday 4th December.
