Aussie Masters – Final Round

// November 14th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Australian Masters

Australian Stuart Appleby has claimed the Aussie Masters in stunning fashion. The PGA Tour player from Victoria closed with two birdies to shoot a classy six-under 65, holding off third round leader Adam Bland by a stroke. Appleby, who’s never won on Melbourne’s sand belt before, didn’t take command of the tournament until the 17th hole where he binned a massive putt to move into the lead on 10-under. After beginning the year uncharacteristically without a PGA Tour Card, the 39-year-old claimed the Greenbrier Classic to find form with a dramatic 59! Now, three month’s later, he owns a Gold Jacket (and an extra $270, 000AUS) to cap off an impressive 2010. (more…)

Spanish star Sergio Garcia won Friday’s battle of attrition over the windy conditions at the Aussie Masters in Melbourne, proving his recent self-imposed two-month break from the game is beginning to bear fruit. The former World-Number-Two fired a stunning blemish-free six-under 65, to climb into sole 4th position at the midway point at the Victoria Golf Club. It’s fantastic to see Sergio showing what he’s capable of – there’s no doubting he’ll be a big contender come Sunday afternoon.
