Local golfers were treated to some stellar play at the $50,000 NSW Open Golf Regional Qualifier hosted by the Teven Valley Golf Club last week.
Glorious weather blessed the pro-am on Wednesday, as many of the professionals got to experience the re-vamped Teven layout for the first time.
The event is part of a regional qualifying series that gives the top three players a start in the NSW Open. Keen viewers could tune in to live television coverage via Golf NSW.
This was the first professional event for Teven Valley Golf Course and surely won’t be the last, as the greenstaff and management were applauded for the impeccable conditions of the course.
Matt Millar (ACT) was the winner, posting eight under par for the 36-hole event to win by two shots from Queenslander Gavin Fairfax (-6).
Jack McLeod (NSW) and William Bruyeres (QLD), who finished in a tie for third at five-under, secured their place in the $800, 000 NSW Open to be contested November 14-17.
Over 70 golfers descended on the course for the event last week.
Foursome winners
Mullumbimby’s Wayne Ferrier and Julie-Ann Ross won the Northern Rivers District Golf Association (NRDGA) Mixed Foursomes at Coraki held last Sunday.
Adam Bullock (winner of the Mullumbimby Golf Club Open two weeks ago) came second with his partner Natasha Faux.
