2024 LEXUS OF CANBERRA GOLF INVITATIONAL – ROYAL CANBERRA GOLF CLUB
The Lexus of Canberra Golf Invitational was held at the beautiful Royal Canberra Golf Club in perfect conditions. The spectacular course was extremely well presented and with seven teams shooting 62 or better, it would be anyone's guess as to what the winning nett score would be today.
The third placed team were just 0.12 of a shot ahead of fourth place and only 0.25 away from second, when they finished with nett 53.
They actually had quite an extraordinary round after they were only one under through seven holes. They then managed seven straight birdies and an eagle to finish their round on 62. Well played Kendrick Winchester, Brad Toone, Stephen Frost & Shane White. The runners had a similar round when they were one under after five holes and then followed up with ten birdies in the next thirteen holes to finish with 61 and nett 52.75. Well done Jordan Rapana, Gary Allan, John Chaloner & Scott Chaloner.
The winners had everything go their way with a fantastic start putting them twelve under after sixteen holes - including a front nine of eight birdies and one par! A lone bogey snuck its way onto the card on their second last hole, but thankfully for them, they were far enough in front to still take the victory with nett 51.37. Congratulations to Anthony Stewart (17), Zac Beeten (17), Mick Perre (26) & Trent Hill (17).
An extraordinary fundraising effort from the guests of Lexus of Canberra managed to raise $7,200 for Ronald McDonald House, Canberra via the on course charity event on the 3rd hole and the raffle over lunch. See below for a great video of the day put together by Tony Prior from Lexus of Canberra:
