Holman breaks duck with Australian title
GOLD COAST (Australia) • Nathan Holman rebounded after making bogeys on the last two holes in regulation to win the Australian PGA Championship after a three-way play-off.
Holman (73) sealed his first professional title on the first extra hole after finishing tied with American Harold Varner (73) and Dylan Frittelli (75) at even-par 288.
All three missed the fairway with their drives on the first play-off hole, the tricky par-four 18th, but only Holman found the green with his approach.
The 24-year-old safely made par to claim the title after the other two contenders both made bogeys at the Royal Pines Resort on Australia's Gold Coast.
