Hawke’s Bay professional Daniel Pearce won the season-long points race to the Jennian Homes Trophy after another great season on New Zealand’s Charles Tour.
The 29-year-old year will be remembered by his two wins in the Ngamotu Classic in New Plymouth and the Akarana Open in Auckland.
Pearce picked up an additional $5000 in prizemoney, courtesy of Jennian Homes which continues to help grow the game and provide New Zealand’s leading amateur and professional golfers the opportunity to prepare for performing on the big stage.
“It’s great to be rewarded after a long and pleasing season on the Jennian Homes Charles Tour. I want to thank Jennian Homes for what they are doing for the game and giving us the chance to play in our own backyard,” said Pearce.
“It’s crucial to have tournaments like these at home with it giving us the perfect preparation to play well overseas and grow our careers.
“I have had a tough couple of weeks to finish off, but I am stoked with what I achieved this year and hopefully I can build from here and play well in China.”
The 2018-19 season of the Charles Tour begins in October.
