GOLF.GARA. ASIA TOUR : Evergreen Hend cruises to maiden win on PGA TOUR Champions
Scott Hend’s remarkable career took another exciting turn yesterday when he claimed his first PGA TOUR Champions title at the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco.
The Australian trailed by two shots with 10 holes to play, but a three-shot swing on the par-three ninth, where Hend made birdie, and leader Tommy Gainey from the United States made double bogey, thrust him into the lead, which he did not lose.
He triumphed by five shots after firing rounds of 66-69-69 to finish 15-under at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam – venue for the International Series Morocco next month.
“It means the world to me,” Hend said.
“To win this tournament in the 50th edition is very prestigious and very special to me.”
