Brewer claims green jacket with The National

Ken Brewer – 2019 champion

The final round of the 2019 edition of The National Senior Masters Championship ended on another beautiful day at the Old Course or The National Golf Club.

Lynwood GC member Ken Brewer (NSW) engraved his name on the silverware for the first time after he had kept his lead of five shots in the third round and received another brilliant score of 73 to end up at the same level for the tournament.

Brewer finished with 10 birdies for the tournament, five of which were in his 68 at the Old Course yesterday, which turned out to be the winning round for the championship.

Royal Canberra & Darryl Whitehead achieved second place after returning consistent rounds of 77, 71 and 74 for a total of 222.

Greg Rhodes completed another impressive tournament with a 74 today to finish third and two shots further at 224.

Nett honors went to Dunheved GC member David McMillan (NSW), who closed rounds of 72, 69 and 74 to close one – under his handicap for the tournament.

The second prize went to Geoffrey Beck (Victor Harbor), who played back a shot and third place was claimed by 2018 champion Ian Frost on 218.

Opposite the Moonah course in the consolation field, the best scratch score was scored by Andrew Newbold (The Metropolitan) with a 74 off the stick.

The net winner was Steven Sykes from Concord GC (NSW) who produced a great net 68 of a daily handicap of 7.

The National Senior Masters Championship is one of the two nationally ranked senior events held in Victoria, and has consistently attracted a high caliber field of the best local and interstate senior male players since its inception in 2010.

The stroke pattern with 54 holes consists of a 36-hole cut for the best 75 gross players (plus ties), rounded off with the next best net players up to a maximum of 100 players.

Golf Australia thanks The National Golf Club for the first-class hospitality offered to all players and guests.
