The trio put birdies on their scorecards early in the round however hot and windy conditions continued to make scoring difficult.

Just eight of the 52 Professionals competing in the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series event entered the clubhouse under par with the winner’s score coming in at 2-under 68.

“It was my first time at Medway and I really enjoyed the course,” said West Australian Brady Watt.

“Thank you to all the sponsors and people who made the event go ahead. I will be back next year.”

In the course’s first pro-am since 1994, Andrew Kelly commended the team on a fantastic event.

“Congratulations to Alex Pitty and Medway Golf Club for running their first event in almost two decades. The course was in great shape and it was nice to play in a metropolitan pro-am,” Kelly said.

Luke Hickman, a regular at Medway, hopes the event will continue for years to come.

“I am lucky enough to play here quite a bit with the pro shop staff and to be honest, I never play well here,” Hickman said.

“It was great to finally turn the form around and walk away with the win. Kudos to Alex and the Medway team for running a great event.”

Ruben Lal shot the score of the morning, a round of 1-under 69, to secure fourth place alongside Rick Kulacz, Dale Brandt-Richards, Theodore Coroneo and Daniel Fox.
