Western Australia turned on the charm for the Jetline
Kerbing Contractors Capel Pro-Am with 57 Professionals teeing it up.

"AshThe Capel layout proved a stern test for one of the largest
fields seen in South West WA in recent times.

An array of talent was on display with WA PGA Champion
Stephen Dartnall, PNG Open champion Brad Moules and Western Australian
favourite Daniel Fox all in the field.

But it was Victorian PGA Champion Ashley Hall who emerged
victorious, firing a consistent 4-under 68 to win by one shot.

Hall was surprised his round was enough to get the job done
with low numbers having previously won this tournament.

"Daniel Fox has won the last two events here and last
year he shot 65 so I just dug in and tried to grind out a solid score," said
Hall.

"The scoring has been really low in WA this pro-am series
so I really thought someone was going to do something special."

"But I’m very glad to come away with a win." 

Sitting in a tie for second on 3-under 69 were Jarryd Felton
and Andrew Martin while a group of seven players rounded out the top-10 2-under
the card.
