Course record seals win for Becker


Professionals headed to The Green Lakelands Pro-Am for the sixth event on the WA Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series swing.

Professionals headed to The Green Lakelands Pro-Am for the sixth event on the WA Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series swing.

""Known for its perfect greens, the day was always going to provide the players with an opportunity to go low and continue the trend from previous events.

It was the afternoon field that produced the low scoring under the beautiful Perth sun. Gavin Reed and Victorian Hayden Webb shot 2-under 70 before Michael Long continued his great golf with 3-under 69.

In-form Brody Martin and Joondalup’s Teaching Professional Dean Alaban, still showing he can play some great golf with both shooting 4-under 68.

This only left the top two spots, runner-up going to Lakelands member Daniel Fox who shot a superb 7-under 65 to fall into second place.

“I played great and would have taken that score at the start of the day. Congrats to Braden that’s an amazing score out there and clearly deserves the podium spot,” said Fox.

It was Braden Becker though who shot a course record 10-under 62 who took home the $2,694 winner’s cheque.

The round, which included 11 birdies and a bogey, blitzed the field and gave Becker his second win in as many weeks and edge closer to Brody Martin, the current WA Order of Merit leader.

“It was one of those days where everything felt easy, it was on my mind and was a good opportunity to maybe get that special number of 59 but I’ll take the 62 and the win,” said Becker.

With this win he now leads the CCA Swing, this is a separate Order of Merit with a bonus for the leading player at CCA associated Club Pro-Am’s only.

Players now move to Gosnells Golf Club for the St Johns Brook Pro-Am on Friday.
