Gold Coast based professional Blake McGrory has claimed a rare triple today, claiming the Rookie of the Year and Queensland Sunshine Tour Order of Merit’s, while going on to win the Jeep Pro Am.

Trailing overnight leader Marcus Cain by three shots at the start of the day, McGrory was quick to make his move with birdies at the 3rd, 5th and 7th holes, to hold a one shot lead over Cain at the turn. Further birdies at 10 and 11 saw McGrory grow his lead to three and despite a bogey five at the last, McGrory would finish at 12 under par for a two shot win.

Cain battled hard all day, but could only manage a share of third alongside Mahal Pearce, who also made his first ever hole-in-one at the par 3, fifth hole. Sam Eaves started off shaky today, though a birdie at the 11th, followed by an eagle at the 12th had Eaves finish two shots behind McGrory in outright second.

This is undoubtedly the biggest win of McGrory’s short professional career, but certainly one he will remember for a long time.

"After my start on the opening day, I really thought a win this week was a long way from possible" said McGrory.

"I lost my opening tee shot of the tournament and after being four over through my opening five holes, winning was merely a dream. Thankfully I was able to turn it all around and keep my cool down the stretch today to hold on for victory."

McGrory’s win catapulted him to the Queensland Sunshine Tour Order of Merit title and along with his win in the Robbie Bennetts Enterprises Rookie of the Year race, McGrory has become the first player to win the double in the 51 year history of the tour.

"Words really can’t explain what I am feeling at the moment, but I am sure it will sink in over the weekend," commented McGrory.

"This win has done so many things for my career with exemptions and prizemoney, but more importantly it has given me the self belief and confidence that I can compete with the best in the country, and that is something money can’t buy."

The Jeep Pro Am has been the pinnacle of Pro-Am golf over recent years and in 2014 it matches it’s efforts of being the richest Pro-Am in the PGA of Australia’s 103 year history. With Jeep investing almost one million dollars into PGA professionals careers over the last three years, their impact on the game of golf will continue to be long lasting.

With the conclusion of the 2013/14 Queensland Sunshine Tour now upon us, the attention of the professionals will now turn to the PGA Tour of Australia for the remainder of the year.
