The final field of 50 PGA Professionals is now finalised for the PGA Professionals Championship with Josh Lane winning his place in the field at the final state qualifying event at Cromer Golf Club last Tuesday.
In total, 63 PGA Professionals teed it up for the PGA Professionals Championship of NSW/ACT, all vying for their spot in the $50,000 Championship final at Hamilton Island and the opportunity to qualify for a spot in the Australian PGA Championship in December.
It was Mona Vale Golf Club’s own Teaching Professional Josh Lane who took the honours at the NSW/ACT qualifier, triumphing in a seven-man sudden-death play-off to win the state title.
With all seven players recording pars on the first playoff hole, Josh was required to hole a 20-foot birdie putt on the second play-off hole in order to separate him from the pack and take-out the state title.
In an extremely tight affair, Josh recorded an even-par round of 70 in a field where only two strokes separated first and last qualifying positions.
