Queensland’s Mitchell Jacobson has secured a win at the Monty Conderman Memorial Grafton Pro-Am.

""After the
success of its inaugural event on the PGA Pro-Am Series Sunshine Swing last
year, the hype within the Grafton community ahead of this year’s staging at the
Grafton Memorial Golf Club was immense.

With the
weather clearing ahead of the first tee time, Professionals had perfect
conditions to put on a show for their amateur playing partners and local spectators.

Coming
off the back of some good results, Jacobson secured the victory firing 5-under
67 to finish one shot ahead of Marco Zirov, Yamba Trainee Professionals Louis
Brown and defending champion, Brett Rankin.

"This
tournament is what pro-am golf is all about; it brings the community together
for one day of the year and showcases what a fine course Grafton is," said
Jacobson.

"You
really need to make your score on the par-5’s and I managed to do that today."

"It was
nice to get one up on my travelling partner Brett Rankin, so hopefully I can
make it two over the weekend in Yamba."

Professionals
will remain in the Clarence Valley for the next two days with many of the Professionals
teeing off at the Yamba Pro-Am tomorrow.
