DODT AND HIGGINBOTTOM SHARE 8TH SPOT IN NSW OPEN

Waratah-based professional Andrew Dodt and Charlestown’s Jake Higginbottom have finished as the best of our Hunter golfers at the New South Wales Open, tied in eighth position.

Pacific Dunes pro Jamie Hook was a further two shots back following his final round 71.

Young amateur Blake Windred unfortunately saved his worst for last, shooting a 76 to drop out of contention.

There was better news for Toronto’s Callan O’Reilly, he bounced back from a 75 in round three with a 71 this afternoon.
