Perry takes top place at Aussie Tour School

Australian PGA CEO Gavin Kirkman congratulates Dylan Perry on winning the Tour School.

Dylan Perry has presented the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour or Australasia Qualifying School by Cobra Puma Golf after a solid wave week at Moonah Links.

Perry played the open course and fired rounds of 72, 66, 71 and 68 for a tournament total of 11-under 277 to win with three shots.

"This is great, I am very relieved, it has been a long couple of weeks so I am very stoked," Perry said.

"I played well by the end of the year, so I knew I had a decent chance this week if I did the right things and played the course as it should be. I did that, so it paid off.

"Today I had a steady start with eight pars, but then I birdied the 9th, rolling the back-9, I made a few early birdies and had some speed, I played strong in the last three holes, which was enough to getting it done. "

The 23-year-old New South Welshman, who plays his golf at Sanctuary Cove in Queensland, now has the full status of his home tour to go along with his Japan Tour status that he earned after surviving four stages of the qualifying school

"Everything will all depend on Japan The Vic Open is the first event we have in Australia and that's a big one, so that will be my first event," Perry added.

"All co-sanctioned things in Australia are getting better, it provides more access for us, especially with the European Tour.

"If you finish well in those tournaments, your career can take off pretty quickly, so it's very exciting to have the opportunity to play those events now."
