Claiming the top prize after firing seven birdies, including two in a row on the 1st and 2nd, 11th and 12th holes, Burdett praised the pristine greens in WA for the top performance.
“These greens could have been the best we have putted on,” said Burdett at the conclusion of his round.
“All the events have had perfect surfaces over here.”
A field of 56 Professionals teed it up in one of the WA Ladbrokes Pro-AM Series swing’s favourite events with the fifth event of the calendar once again proving to be a tough challenge for players.
Continuing his fine form in WA James Anstiss added a second place result to go with Monday’s WA Golf Club Pro-Am win with a round of 4-under 68 at Kwinana Golf Club.
One of Australia’s most consistent golfers Matt Millar posted another impressive round of 3-under 69, joining Peter Wilson and Daniel Fox in a tie for third place.
As the WA swing continues player’s next head to Gosnells Golf Club for the Gosnells Golf Club Pro-Am.
“I’m looking forward to Gosnells tomorrow and then heading down South for the first time to play,” Burdett added.
“I’ve heard nothing but great things around the remaining events.”
Play begins at 12:00pm AWST.

Teeing off the 1st hole, in the morning field, Burdett got his day off to a good start opening with a birdie.
Finishing with a further two birdies, Burdett fired 4-under 67 and is the current clubhouse leader on 9-under the card.
“It has been a good couple of days; I have kept the ball in play and made some putts,” said Burdett.
“It was pretty solid and my short game was good today. I missed a few greens in just bad spots but was able to get it up and down.
“I was holing putts so that is the main thing.”

Sitting a shot further back is Jake Higginbottom who enjoyed a good day on the greens.
“I feel like I have putted really well the last couple of days. The course is in great condition, so hopefully, I can keep holing a few,” said Higginbottom, whose round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 13th.
“I hit a nice drive down 13 and then hit a 9 iron to about eight feet and made eagle from there so that got my round going. Then I played solid the rest of the day.”
Higginbottom shares second place on the leaderboard with Victorian Deyen Lawson who fired 6-under 65 in the second round.
Lawson will be one to watch over the weekend after he finished runner-up to Travis Smyth at the Palmerston Golf Course last year.
Overnight leader Daniel Nisbet teed off in the second round with the aim to chase down Burdett’s lead and reclaim pole position.
He and the rest of the afternoon field are now on course.
