Brad Doherty has fired a round of 5-under 66 to claim a one-shot victory in the Howeston Pro-Am and his third win on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series.

The 19-year-old endured a slow start to his round, recording bogeys on his opening two holes caused by three-putts.

This wasn’t going to deter the young professional, however, who recovered to make seven birdies across the next sixteen holes to close with 66.

“I’ve been playing well the last couple of months but haven’t been able to put it all together on the day,” said Doherty.

“I drove the ball perfectly out there; my mid-irons were solid finishing inside 10 feet most holes, which gave me a lot of birdies chances.

“Even though I had a couple of three-putts early in the round I also made a lot of putts coming in, which made all the difference.”

Consistent front-runners Deyen Lawson, Antonio Murdaca and Luke Paroz finished in a tie for second position after firing rounds of 4-under 67.

European Tour Professional Lawson continues his good form on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series with his equal second finish at Howeston.

“It’s my first time seeing the Howeston Golf Course so I didn’t know what to expect,” said Lawson.

“It an enjoyable course and was in fantastic condition for the event, credit must go to all involved.”

Lawson was not the only player to commend the stunning presentation of the Howeston Golf Course for the Howeston Pro-Am, with the Club are also celebrating their 40^th year of hosting events on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series.

Sanctuary Cove’s Cory Crawford rounds out the top-5 with a round of 3-under 68.

The next stop on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series Brisbane swing is Windaroo Lakes Golf Club for the Altitude Wealth Solutions Windaroo Pro-Am.

Nick Russell has fired 3-under par 68 to claim victory by one shot in the 39^th Howeston Pro-Am.

The win here today has capped off a solid week for the thirty-year-old making it two wins on the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series in four events and his third this year.

Russell got off to a flying start early making the turn at 5-under par courtesy of three birdies and an eagle coming at his fifth hole of the day when he knocked his drive on the green and hold the putt. A further two bogeys would complete his second nine in 2-over par.

“I’m really happy with the way I played today and really all week,” said Russell.

“I came into the week not expecting too much as I’ve been working and not practicing as much, I think this has helped with my results."

Finishing in equal second position were professionals Jacob Boyce and Mark Brown after shooting rounds of 2-under par 69.

"The course was in great condition today,  I’ve really enjoyed my time playing in Brisbane this week," said Brown.

Russell has also qualified his way into the 19 competitor field for Mercedes-Benz Gold Coast Sanctuary Cove Shootout as result of his consistent performances across the four Brisbane Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series events.
