TASMANIAN TARQUIN BIRDIE BLITZ WINS AUSSIE AMATEUR MASTERS
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. It took a while for the putts to drop, but when they did, Tarquin MacManus stormed home to win the Australian Master of the Amateurs title.
The Queenslander made six birdies on his closing 10 holes on Royal Melbourne's west course en route to a spectacular seven-under-par 65, including a 20m birdie bomb on the final hole accompanied by a fist pump and a roar from the gallery.
The University of Arizona student finished at a tournament record 12 under after four rounds, beating Tasmanian Ryan McCarthy, New Zealand's Ryan Fox and England's Andrew Sullivan into joint second place, three shots back.
Joint halfway leader Stiggy Hodson, the Walker Cup player from Sunningdale, had to retire during the third round. He was suffering from heat exhaustion.
Remember it is summer time Down Under and the temperatures in the Melbourne area have been in excess of 30 degrees.
