Four birdies and an eagle in his first eight holes helped Jake McLeod to a one stroke victory at the Belle Property Pro-Am, unfortunately, mother nature decided we needed some more rain and conditions were far from ideal, but credit must go to Todd McNamee and his staff for preparing the course in superb condition under such trying conditions.
Starting on the 10th hole, McLeod, a former DP Tour Player, came out the blocks fast with birdies on 10 & 11 but dropped a shot at the tough par three 14th hole, but bounced back with an eagle on 15, and birdies on 16 & 17 to make the turn at 5 under. A back nine consisting of one birdie and eight pars was enough for Jake to take the title with a score of 6 Under.
Tied in second place at 5 Under, was Craig Goodall & Cooper Eccleston. Craig Goodall played in the morning and set a great score for the afternoon players to catch, with a bogey free round consisting of five birdies and thirteen pars. Cooper Eccleston played some great golf which included 7 birdies and a Hole in One on the 12th, unfortunately he also carded 4 bogeys to miss out by one shot.
Tied fourth at 4 Under were Nathan Barbieri, Gavin Fairfax and our very own TJ King who had a solid round with 5 birdies and one bogey.
One shot further back was Victorian Toby Walker, he started nice and steady with 10 straight par’s then came unstuck on 13 & 14 where he went Bogey, Double Bogey but bounced straight back finishing the last 6 holes in 6 Under Par, which included an Eagle on 15, a Hole in One on 16, 2 Birdies and 2 Pars.
