Hendry , Hiller solid results while playing in Australia

Michael Hendry has finished inside the top-15 in the inaugural TPS Victoria Hosted by Geoff Ogilvy on the PGA Australia Tour.

The event mirrors Golf New Zealand’s Jennian Homes Charles Tour events where both men and women compete for the same trophy, for the same prize purse, in the same field, but has the added component of junior golfers competing in their own competition.

Hendry carded rounds of 73, 65, 71, and 65 to finish in a tie for 14th at 10-under par at Rosebud Country Club. He finished seven shots back of reigning New Zealand Open champion Brad Kennedy.
