HANNAH Green obliterated the field to win the Vic Open women’s championship today (Sunday, February 13) for her first big triumph on home soil while Dimi Papadatos holed a nerve-jangling birdie putt at the 72nd hole to close out the men’s.<\/p>\n

Perth’s Green, 25, shot a closing 71 at 13th Beach Golf Links to win the women’s championship by a whopping six shots at 13 under par, holding firm on what had started as a five-shot buffer.<\/p>\n

New South Welshman Steve Prior battled an ice cold putter but held firm to win the Victorian Inclusive Championship today in a tight finish, while Nick Taylor from Port Kembla Golf Club won the inaugural Australian Wheelchair Championship.<\/p>\n

Papadatos, second-placed Ben Campbell and third-placed Matt Griffin were given the extra bonus of a spot in the field for the Open Championship at St Andrews this year as top-three finishers.<\/p>\n

Hannah Green taps in a short putt to win the women’s Vic Open.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The win sets Green up for a big season overseas in what was her first tournament start for 2022. It is also her first conspicuous success in Australia in a top-tier tournament, despite multiple wins overseas including a major in the US in 2019.<\/p>\n

Queenslander Karis Davidson and another Western Australian, Whitney Hillier, were tied second at seven under par.<\/p>\n

Papadatos, 30, was brilliant in his closing 66, rolling in a birdie putt from just inside two metres at the par-five 18th to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Had he missed, he would have been forced into a playoff with New Zealander Ben Campbell, who holed his own birdie putt a few moments later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
