""James Nitties has made it back-to-back victories on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series after firing a round of 6-under par 66 to claim victory by two shots in this year’s Crowe Horwath Yamba Pro-Am.

Conditions on course today were some of the most challenging the players have experienced to date on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series, with the course saturated it made scoring extremely difficult.

Nitties managed a bogey-free round for the day making the turn 4-under par and then continuing his good form into the back-9 finishing 2-under par for his total of 66.

“We were so lucky with the weather in the end," said Nitties.

“Although we had the first couple of holes in the rain, it then cleared and even at one point we had sunshine."

“The fairways were great out there I was surprised how lush they were considering it had been so dry leading into the event."

It was be a three-way tie for second position between Steven Jeffress, Brad Burns and Chris Wood who all finished with rounds of 4-under par 68.

The next stop on the Ladbrokes PGA Pro-Am Series will be the Casino Golf Club where play is underway for the Coca-Cola Amatil – ILG Casino Pro-Am.
