Troy Moses and Ryan Lynch have shared victory at the Peninsula Honda RCC Pro-Am, sitting equal atop the leaderboard to each claim their third pro-am win in 2019.
In hot conditions at Rosebud Country Club a steady round of golf lead Lynch to a final score of 6-under 65 to continue a hot streak for the Victorian who has compiled 11 top-10 finishes so far this season.
“Thinking about retiring from golf has been the best decision I’ve made because I have won my third event in as many months,” said Lynch, who contemplated retiring from professional golf at the end of 2018.
“We are really thankful for the support from Peninsula Honda, and I would like to thank Rosebud Country Club for hosting another wonderful event.”
Moses’ win comes as his second within one week after sharing the honours with Rick Coleman at the Dallas Building Pro-Am.
At 6-under through eight holes, Moses maintained momentum to finish on top of the leaderboard yet again.
“I got off to a hot start then faltered a bit through the middle of my round,” said Moses.
“I managed to birdie 9 (Moses’ 16th hole for the day) and hold on for 65.
“The course was unbelievable, the hospitality was first class and I really enjoyed my day,” he added, also thanking Shane at Peninsula Honda for sponsoring the event.
Overall scoring was highly competitive with 18 of the 60-player strong field finishing at par or better.
Victorians Ben Murphy and Jack Murdoch lead the morning wave on 4-under the card, rounds good enough to hold on to tie for third place alongside Brady Watt.

His round of 4-under 67 was enough to see him win by a single shot from Victorians Thomas Burt, Cameron John and Matt Jager who all finished on 3-under 68.
Fox has previously won the pro-am in 2014 and 2015.
“It was pretty tough today so I’m really surprised that 4-under held up,” said Fox.
“It’s been a long haul. This is my seventh week playing in a row, so I’m pretty much out of gas now.
“I’ve got a month off until I head up to Papua New Guinea for the two events there.”
Fox began his round on the 8th hole and opened quickly making a birdie at the 9th, he then birdied the 13th, bogeyed the 14th and birdied the 15th, 16th and 17th.
A par on the 18th saw him at 3-under and tied for the lead with seven holes to play.
Fox looked to have been stuck on 3-under after five straight pars on the front-9, however he managed to birdie the 6th to get to 4-under and the outright lead.
