The winner was Anthony Brunero from Golf illawarra on 3 under par from defending champion, Dylan Perry, Hunter River on 1 under par.
Goulburn GC, the venue for this event for the next 2 years as well, was in good condition considering that not long ago it was mostly submerged in floodwaters.
The weather made scoring difficult with a couple of showers during Saturday’s play and the wind increasing during the Sunday morning round..
