An emotional Daniel Fox has claimed his first victory on Tour in front of a home crowd.

A journeyman of Professional golf, a win has been a long time coming for Fox who today broke through to win the Nexus Risk TSA Group WA Open Championship.

Starting the day with a one shot lead, Fox watched it disappear as he made bogeys on the third and sixth holes.

But with a new found confidence and mental toughness, Fox put his foot down on the back-9 reeling off four birdies and a lone bogey.

Watching on as his competitors faltered, including amateur Curtis Luck who bogeyed four of his last five holes, Fox walked onto the 18^th green with a two shot lead.

Winning the tournament in style, Fox sunk a 25 foot putt for birdie to win by three shots with a tournament total 11-under 277.

Finishing outright second and the leading amateur, Curtis Luck says he will learn and grow from this experience, but still has no plans to turn Professional.

With a tournament total 5-under the card, Mitchell A. Brown, Aaron Pike, Daniel Valente and Jason Scrivener all finished tied third.

A further shot back was Michael Sim with Matthew Giles and Matthew Millar, tied 8^th on 3-under the card.

Rounding out the top-10 on 2-under the card were Michael Wright, Stephen Dartnall, Ben Wharton, Anthony Houston and amateur Min Woo Lee.

Key Quotes:

Daniel Fox, 70, 68, 69, 70, 11-under, champion

"I’m not sure really, emotions are everywhere at the minute. Very pleased, of course it was a tough day. Obviously, it was just head down, bum up all day just trying to play in the weather."
 
"It sort of hit me in a rush late in the round, that the scoreboard had changed dramatically. I thought I was a couple behind then all of a sudden I was in front."

"I led during the day, I lost the lead and then having to stay with it and try and pick up the shots. It wasn’t until the 17^th where I realised I was leading so that sort of experience is something I’ll hold true and go from there".

"Standing on 18 I had a look at the leaderboard and saw a two shot lead and I was thinking ‘I hope that’s actually what it is’, I might need all three of them to try and get it in here. And then to hole it was just a dream, thank god that’s over."
 
Curtis Luck, 66, 72, 72, 70, 8-under, runner-up
 
"I put up a pretty good effort, especially in that last round out there, I just wasn’t able to finish it off, I didn’t hit the shots I needed to, but extremely happy with the second (place finish), I would have taken that at the start of the week, so I’m really happy."
 
"I was putting really good through the mid-section of my round, I was 6-under through 12 which I think might have given me the lead there for a bit. Just a couple of poor golf shots down the last few didn’t pan out my way, and unfortunately they just resulted probably worse that what they should have."

"I think every bad experience is a good experience, you live and you learn. I’m sure if I’m in that situation in the near future, I probably won’t make the same mistakes I did today."
