Former US PGA Tour star Michael Sim has fired a round of 56 at Victoria Park Complex to win the City of Brisbane Pro-Am

Sim carded a 9-under 56, to finish two shots ahead of a pack of players including, Callan O’Reilly, Marcus Cain, Brenton Parrish and Steve Jones.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Sim, who found himself at 1-over par standing on the 6th tee.

Two eagles and a birdie over the next four holes was the spark required for Sim to turn the day around.

A further five birdies over the back nine to post a 9-under the card round was enough to see him victorious.

"It wasn’t one of my greatest starts to a round. But it was a real positive to have turned that poor start around and produce some quality golf over the final 13 holes," said Sim.

"It’s been great to play in a few pro-am events lately. They are a good indicator of where may game is at."

A regular on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia, Sim hopes his pro-am win is indicative of what is to come on Tour.

"It’s nice to get a win here at Victoria Park and I hope it leads to further success over the coming months," add Sim who is currently 11^th on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit.

"My plan is to finish in the top-5 on the Tour in 2016. I have put myself in a really good position over the first half of the year to reach that goal."
