Aussies on Tour: Bosio, Percy suffer playoff heartbreak


Two Australians have come up agonisingly short of victory over the weekend, with both Victorian Cameron Percy and Queenslander Justice Bosio losing in playoffs on the PGA TOUR Champions and Ladies European Tour (LET) Access Series respectively.

For Percy, the T2 finish at the Principal Charity Classic in Iowa marks a third top-10 finish this year in his quest for a maiden Tour victory.

Finishing the week tied with European legends Søren Kjeldsen and Miguel Angel Jiménez at the top on 17-under, Percy lost out to a Jiménez birdie on the first extra hole.

Similarly chasing a milestone maiden victory, rookie professional Bosio looked to be in control at the Santander Golf Tour – AVILA event tied for the lead with one round to play.

A final day charge from Mexico’s Alejandra Llaneza (64) however, resulted in another three-way playoff, which Llaneza won with birdie on the first extra hole.

Fellow Australians Stephanie Bunque and Abbie Teasdale finished in a share of eighth at 4-under, five shots back of Bosio.

Elsewhere, West Australian Hannah Green was Australia’s best finish at the US Women’s Open, finishing T12 at 1-under – her best finish at the event – six shots adrift of eventual winner Maja Stark.

“I felt like I hit the ball really well. I hit a couple loose shots coming in into the back nine. The bogeys on 16 and 17 kind of hurt, but overall, a solid week,” said Green after her final round at Erin Hills.

“I feel like on some of the days and some of the rounds I got a lot out of the round, and then some days I didn’t and left things out there, which I guess always happens at major championships.

“It was nice to build on some form though, we obviously have KPMG (Women’s PGA Championship) coming up soon as well, hopefully I can take it into those events.”
