Congratulations to PGA Trainee Ben Stowe from Royal Sydney Golf Club who has won the worlds richest trainee tournament the National Futures Championship held this week here at Ballarat Golf Club.
After setting the course record at 7-under 65 in round three, Stowe’s final round of even par was enough to see him record a five-shot victory finishing at 9-under the card.
Stowe began the final round with a four-shot buffer which admittedly played on the 24-year-old’s mind. After nervously teeing up on the 1st, he was quickly able to settle into stride around the Ballarat Golf Club course.
“It was in the back of my mind and last night I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I was probably the most nervous I’ve ever been on a golf course on the first tee this morning, but it didn’t really come into play today.”
