LAKE Karrinyup Country Club was the host to the final WA Race Event for the year. West Australian golfers have been treated to some fantastic golf course venues this season and a strong field of 61 players experienced this quality golf course that each year hosts the Perth International - Australia’s richest professional golf tournament.
The Lake Karrinyup course gritted its teeth on the day. Roy Khoh of Kwinana Golf Club produced the best score of the day with a well fought 39 points. Roy’s win saw him take home the brand new Cobra Puma stand bag, the Race Series winner's medal and also gains him free entry into the WA state final to be held at Royal Fremantle GC.
Roy was also B-grade day’s winner and, more importantly, captured the WA OOM title with 375 points.
Roy is now the first player to qualify into Team WA at the National Final at Bonville Golf Resort in May. You can view the full Order of Merit standings here.
The day’s other grade winners were Ryan O’Hara, who took out A-grade with 34 points, and Tony Oehme, who took out C-grade with 38 points.
