McCullen wins six-hole play-off to chalk up first pro win
NEWS RELEASE FROM NICK TEALE
Haydn
McCullen claimed his first professional win with victory in a six-hole
play-off in the HotelPlanner.com Championship at Prince’s Golf Club in
Kent.
The
19-year-old carded a four under par final-round 67 to conclude the
HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour tournament 12 under par, the same
score as James Frazer (71, 66, 64; Pennard Golf Club), Chris Halley (67,
67, 67; Malton and Norton
Golf Club) and Darren Wright (64, 68, 69; Golf At Goodwood).
That forced a four-way sudden-death play-off on the 9th.
Wright made bogey five on the first extra hole while the other three
players made par.
However, the £3,666.67 he collected for a share of
second saw him to rise to the
top of the Race To Desert Springs, from which the top five at the end
of the season earn Challenge Tour cards for 2016.
It
took until the sixth extra hole for the play-off to reach its
conclusion. Frazer had been eliminated on the fifth play after a bogey
to leave Halley and McCullen in a head-to-head.
Both found the green in regulation on the sixth play-off hole but Halley three-putted, handing victory to McCullen.
“It
feels great to get the first professional win.” said McCullen, who
takes home £10,000, a brand new Motocaddy trolley, Bushnell Tour X range
finder, Bolle sunglasses and £500 to spend at HotelPlanner.com.
“I
knew I needed to play well this week because I was only just inside the
top 60 for getting into Tour Championship. That’s what I have done; I
have only made one bogey all tournament. It is satisfying to know I can
do it when I have to.
“The
play-off hole is a really tough hole to make birdie on. There isn’t
much trouble off the tee so if you can then hit the green it is down to
your putting.
“I have a great momentum now to take to Desert Springs. I don’t know the course but I have heard it is very good.
After
coming so close to his maiden EuroPro win Halley said: “It is very
disappointing to lose on the sixth hole of a play-off. But it does show
that I am playing well and it gives me something to build on going into
the Tour Championship.”
Frazer
commented: “I am disappointed but it has been a good week in all. It is
only my second tournament back after being off for a while after
appendix surgery and I certainly would have taken second. The other two
were hitting the greens
and I was having to make up and downs where they weren’t putting
themselves under as much pressure as I was.”
Wright
said: “I feel unlucky not to have got the win because I felt I was
playing well enough, so to then lose in a play-off is disappointing. But
I am number one on the rankings now and I know I am taking good form
into the Tour Championship
and European Tour Qualifying.”
The
top 60 on the Race To Desert Springs will now be invited to October’s
season-ending Matchroom Sport Tour Championship at Desert Springs Resort
in Spain.
Kevin Harper sealed 60th place on the rankings by just £44.80 from Kris Gray having finished tied 28th at Prince’s.
