Taking another step towards the Tour, Mitchell Brown has won the Gunnedah Stripes Pro-Am.

Firing 3-under 67 in trying conditions, New South Welshman Brown secured a two shot victory to join a star studded honour roll which features Brett Ogle, Terry Price and Andre Stolz.

The win has moved Brown inside the top-10 on the National Pro-Am Order of Merit, a step close to his goal of securing a category on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia in 2018.

“It’s great to play well here and get a win under my belt,” said Brown.

“My goal this year was to finish in the top-10 and get a category on the Tour for 2018.”

Finishing outright second on 1-under 69 was Dylan Stollery while Paul Lorimer, Daniel Clay and Darren Burger rounded out the top-5 with even par rounds.
