Walters takes Southern honours
Thursday, 29 October 2009
The PGA would like to congratulate Euan Walters, winner of the 2008-2009 Callaway Victorian OOM.
Walters emerged victorious by just 8 points, ahead of Adam Porker and Ryan Haywood.
After twelve months on the road the Order of Merit final standings came down to the final day at Barham.
However it was a very happy Walters who held off a talented chasing pack to secure overall victory.
Despite finishing third Haywood was the major money winner with almost $20,000 in prize money, the right-hander collecting his cheques from just 29 rounds.
The Southern Tour of 2008-09 provided more than 40 rounds of golf in total.
Players who joined the circuit along the way included Marcus Fraser, Michael Curtain, and Gary Emerson from the Europe while Jarrod Lyle, David McKenzie, Alistair Presnell and Cameron Percy made appearances in between their US duties.
The Southern Division of the PGA would like to take the opportunity to thank our major sponsor Callaway for their support over the season and each and every golf club committee and all the tournament co-coordinators that have hosted an event in 2008-09.
