Luke Hickman has recorded his second Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series victory of the year, taking out the Independent Wholesalers IGA and Banjo Country Club Tasmania Pro-Am.

With a tight layout the Prospect Vale at Country Club Tasmania provided a challenging test of golf however Hickman fired 5-under 66 to claim the win.

Beginning his round on the 14^th, Hickman made birdies at the 15^th, 16^th and 1^st. Travelling nicely, Hickman hit a speed bump making a bogey at the par-3 3^rd hole.

Regaining his momentum, Hickman reeled off three consecutive birdies at the 5^th, 6^th and 7^th to hold the outright lead with six holes to play.

Hickman’s tee shot on the par-3 10^th came up short of the green and a three putt bogey dropped him to 4-under the card and tied with Brody Martin and Scott Priest.

A further birdie on the 11^th ensured that Hickman claimed an outright win with Martin and Priest sharing second place.

“I got off to a pretty good start, I chipped in for birdie on the 15^th,” said Hickman.

“I played really well during the middle of my round.  I made birdies on 5, 6 and 7.

“It was just a silly three putt bogey on the 10^th but then to birdie 11 straight away was really good.”

The Tasmanian swing  of the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series wraps up at the Launceston Kitchen Centre Mowbray Pro-Am.  This is the state’s largest pro-am, worth $18k and finishes a 10 day stretch where the Professionals played for over $58k in prize money.
