2018 Melbourne City Lexus Golf Invitational - Sanctuary Lakes

The first of two Melbourne City Lexus Golf Invitationals took place at Sanctuary Lakes. Threatening skies didn't deter the guests, with over 110 enjoying the golf or beginner lessons. 

In third place with a nett 57.5 was the team of Kevin Birtles, Damien De Pace, Barry Faiman & Ronald Klein. After a strong start to be three under through their first seven holes, they couldn't quite keep the momentum going and only managed one under for the remainder of their round. The runners up were started their round steadily, before a streak of five birdies in eight holes shot them up the leaderboard. Their nett score of 56.83 however, was still more than a shot off the winning score. Well done to Hai Truong, Zihu Liu & Peter Cheng. Our eventual winners had a mixed start, with a par, birdie & bogey on their first three holes. This was quickly followed by a run of five birdies in a row to put them in command. Congratulations to our winners - David Stewart (15), Chainart Sairat (18) & Alan Rossignoli (27) who finished with nett 55.
