Chris Wood has won the Glencore Oaky Creek Coal Tieri Pro-Am at Tieri Country Club today.

""Wood carded 7-under 66 to secure a one stroke win over runners up Troy Cox and Tim Hart.

With 10 birdies on his card, Hart looked to be heading for a back-to-back victory on the PCR Polyweld Mining Town Series but Wood denied Hart the victory.

Wood could not believe that his round would be good enough, especially considering 10-under was the score required to win the past two pro-ams.

 "I was somewhat shocked when I found out that I had won, but as everyone knows, golf is a funny game and sometimes things just go your way," said Wood.

"The Tieri Golf Club have done an amazing job to have the course in the condition they did for today’s pro-am, especially when they ran out of water only six weeks ago,"

"The greens are some of the best we will play on all year and hopefully the remainder of the course will return to its pristine condition after some much needed rain."

Professionals will now enjoy a day off before the Blackwater Pro-Am gets underway on Wednesday.

Tim Hart leads the way at 17-under in the PCR Polyweld Mining Town Series and as the defending Blackwater Pro-Am winner he will be looking to extend his lead as the series reaches the halfway stage.
