Michael Hendry has won the ISPS HANDA New Zealand Open in front of a jubilant home crowd.

It has been 14 years since a Kiwi hoisted the Brodie Breeze trophy but Hendry has it in his hands today.

With rounds of 65, 65, 67 and 69, Hendry finished regulation play tied with fellow Kiwi Ben Campbell and Australian Brad Kennedy on 19-under the card.

It took just one trip down the 18th in extra time for Hendry to emerge victorious. Playing first, Hendry hit his tee shot safelt to the centre of the green while Campbell and Kennedy both found the water.

When the pair was unable to get up and down for par, Hendry took two putts to win his first New Zealand Open title.

It was a strong display of golf and belief from Hendry in the final round who was bogey free and in control all day.

For his win he picks up AU$163,666, official world rankings points and is fully exempt onto the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia until the end of the 2019 season.

This becomes third win on the Tour and third in the Queenstown region after he also won the 2012 and 2013 New Zealand PGA Championship titles.

More to come.
