Herman beats Kirk in Moonah Classic play-off

American Jim Herman has won the co-sanctioned Moonah Classic golf tournament, defeating compatriot Chris Kirk with a birdie on the first play-off hole.
The pair had finished tied at 11 under the card after 72 holes at the Moonah Links course at Fingal on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula in Australia.
Both Herman, who shot a course-record 62 in the first round, and Kirk produced rounds of 70 today.
American Robert Gates, last week's New Zealand Open winner, finished third at 10-under after a 66 while Victorian Jarrod Lyle shot 68 and tied fourth, a further shot back, with American Tag Ridings, 67.
The event was jointly sanctioned by the Australasian and Nationwide Tours.
