VIS golfer Zach Murray won the 2017 Golf SA Amateur Classic, finishing the tournament 6-under par.
Murray carded rounds of 73, 72, 68, 69 (282) to finish one ahead of three players tied at 5-under, Western Australian’s Min Woo Lee and Ben Ferguson and overnight leader Douglas Klein.
With Klein and Ferguson struggling, Lee skyrocketed to the lead thru 11 holes moving to 6-under, but once again had trouble on the hardest hole on the course the 442mtr par 4, 14thmaking bogey (he made triple in round three).
Murray maintained his composure, playing error-free golf all week, recording no doubles for the championship and was one of only four players to shoot sub-par final rounds in tricky conditions on Royal Adelaide’s championship course.
Murray in the second to last group with Sam Earl (77) and Josh Armstrong (74) closed it out well.
Murray now adds the Classic to his blossoming resume that includes a win at the Master of The Amateurs in 2015.
