triumph in NSW Open
Jason Scrivener has broken through for his first Professional victory after pulling away from the field to win the 2017 NSW Open by the resounding margin of six strokes at Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club.
It’s a landmark win for the 28-year-old who has been on the verge of his first professional win in the past, he’s had three top-5 finishes on the tough European Tour this year alone, including a fourth place finish in the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth.
Despite his dominant win, Scrivener said it was tougher than it looked on the leaderboard.
“It feels pretty good, I think it looked a lot easier than what it was; it’s hard work to win,” Scrivener said.
“After the 16th hole I figured I’d probably have to do something drastically wrong to not win. It was a weird feeling those last couple of holes because the first 16 were just brutal.
“Even though I was playing nicely, you never know especially around here, there’s bogeys and doubles to be made as well.”
The West Australian said the win gives him confidence in getting the job done should he find himself in this position again.
“I’ve come close before and just haven’t got across the line; it’s just nice to play that well under pressure so I’ll definitely put that in the memory bank.
“I’m stoked. I’ve been working really hard the last few years and been patient with everything I’ve done.”
Lucas Herbert finished second on hiw own, signing off with a birdie on the 18th for a 70 and a total of 270, 18-under.
2015 NSW Open Champion Ben Eccles (Victoria) camet third with a 71 for 272
Chris Crabtree (Queensland) (68-274) and Blake Windred (New South Wales) (65-274) were joint fourth and were also the highest finishing amateurs, finishing 16-under par.
