Perth, Feb 17: New Zealand’s Ryan Fox produced a dominant performance in the final round and defeated Spain’s Adrian Otaegui 3-2 to lift the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth trophy golf tournament here today.
Scott Vincent, the first golfer from Zimbabwe to play on the Asian Tour, had to settle for fourth place after he lost to Ireland’s Paul Dunne at the first knockout hole at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.
Fox, who received a bye into the last 16, had to make three trips to the knockout hole to first beat Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond before claiming 1-up triumphs over Norwegian Kristoffer Reitan and Ireland’s Paul Dunne in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively.
The 32-year-old was three-up against Otaegui in the final’s first three holes and his victory was confirmed when they both parred the fourth hole.
