At 9-under the card and holding a five shot lead, perfect conditions awaited Brayden Petersen, first year PGA Trainee from Asquith Golf Club in New South Wales as he stepped onto the tee this morning to complete his final round of the Rich River Trainee Classic.

""Petersen needed to hold his nerve however, when Allan Haughie, another first year PGA Trainee, from New South Wales Golf Club mounted an early challenge clawing two shots back over the first two holes before a bogey on the 7th hole and a double bogey on 8th hole relieved the pressure and put Petersen back in control.

Petersen responded well with three consecutive birdies on the 9th, 10th and 11th holes to extend his lead and come home comfortably to finish seven clear at 12-under the card.

“I just tried to keep the ball in play off the tee the whole week which I did well and my short game was unreal right throughout the week,” said Petersen.

He also praised the Rich River Golf Club Resort on their course, describing it as being “in immaculate condition.”.

Haughie held on to second position at 5-under the card while Zac Fuller, third year PGA Trainee from Sandy Field Golf Club in South Australia took out third with a final round of 3-under 69 for his 2-over the card total.
