Aaron Pike started the day with a four-shot lead over the field and fired the low score of the day, 5-under 67 to claim victory in the Onsite Rental Group Dysart Pro-Am by seven shots from Brett Rankin.

On a perfect afternoon for scoring, spectators were treated to some spectacular golf at the Dysart Golf Club as the chase was on to catch overnight leader Pike.

Pike had the dream start to his final round with birdies through his opening three holes 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd, a soft bogey on the 8^th hole slowed momentum and a par on the 9^th would complete his front-9 in 2-under par 34.

He extended his lead further on the back-9 courtesy of birdies on the 12^th, 14^th and 16^th holes and two pars to finish on the 17^th & 18^th for a back-9 total of 33 and a tournament total of 18-under par 198.

“I was happy with the way I struck the ball again today," said Pike.

“I made just the one bogey for the day on the 8^th hole, the pin was cut tight, I short-sided myself and didn’t get it up and down to save my par.

“I am thrilled to win the 40^th edition of the pro-am here at Dysart Golf Club. It’s a course I enjoy playing very much and holds fond memories for me having won here twice before."

Brett Rankin shot the next best round of the day scoring 4-under 68 to finish 11-under par 205 and claim outright second in the Onsite Rental Group Dysart Pro-Am.

Rankin has won the last two years at Dysart but unfortunately was unable to mount a challenge today to make it three in a row.

“The last three weeks have been fantastic and I am really happy with where my game is at the moment,” said Rankin.

The next placed professionals were Steven Jeffress finishing in third position 9-under par 207.

Leigh McKechnie had his best finish for the series in fourth position 8-under par 208, Daniel McGraw rounds out the top-5 at 7-under par 209.

Brett Rankin has dominated the Onsite Rental Group Mining Towns Series finishing 56-under par for the thirteen rounds across six events winning the overall series by 18 shots.

Paul Hayden recorded a 38-under par total to claim second position, finishing in third position was Leigh McKechnie on 32-under par for the series.

Professionals will now have a well-earned break for a couple of weeks before heading north to the Townsville Golf Club for the Townsville Pro-Am to be held on Wednesday 20 June 2018.
