The win cements Macpherson as one of the in-form golfers of the season following a victory at the Moonah Links PGA Classic in February, followed by a T16 finish at TPS Sydney and a T2 at the Isuzu Queensland Open.

Starting the day with a one-stroke lead, Macpherson held his nerve throughout the final round to win by three strokes over rising star Elvis Smylie.

The Victorian completed the tournament with rounds of 66-67-65-68 for a tournament total of 18-under par.

Smylie held a share of the lead before a double bogey on the 17th pushed him back to 15-under.

Young South Australian Jack Thompson also led the tournament early in the final round before finishing at 15-under par alongside Smylie.

Macpherson joins ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit winner Brad Kennedy as the only player to have won twice in the 2020/21 season.

More to come.
