2024 Lexus of Macarthur Golf Invitational - New South Wales Golf Club

The Lexus of Macarthur Golf Invitational was held at the amazing New South Wales Golf Club under perfect conditions. Unfortunately the preceding weeks in Sydney had been very wet and that meant all guests would have to walk the course. Despite some damp areas, the course was in fantastic shape and good scores would be required to feature at the end of the day.

In the end it was extremely close and the difference between the top 4 teams was just over a shot. The third placed team of Lu Sun, Alison Chang & Bob Petrovski were off to a bad start with a par and a bogey on their first two holes. Incredibly, they would go on to shoot the lowest score of the day after they recorded nine birdies for the rest of the round to finish with nett 55.5 and take third place on a count back. Just 0.13 ahead were the runners up with nett 55.37. They were one of only two teams to play the 18 holes without a bogey and when you put that together with eight birdies, you are certainly going to feature at the end of the day. Well done, John Perri, Greg Peck, Mark Senchenko & Rick Truong. The winners were challenged as a three-ball team and when they were one over after five holes, nothing would have led them to believe they would win the day. Although, steady play with six birdies (three in a row at one stage) would allow them to sign for nett 54.33 and take out the win by just over a shot. Congratulations Sherri Ollerenshaw (36), Ross Ollerenshaw (7) & Jessica Mackenzie (33). For the full results from the day, please click on the button below - 'Download All Results'.
