Brent Paterson has made history at the New Zealand Men’s Seniors Championship, becoming the first player to win three titles in a row.

The 212-strong field couldn’t tame Paterson as he romped to a five-stroke in the weather-affected event held at Paraparaumu Beach and Waikanae Golf Clubs. The tournament was reduced to 36-holes due to inclement weather.

Paterson carded an impressive 66 in his opening round at New Zealand’s spiritual home of golf to take control. The next best score at Paraparaumu Beach was 73, highlighting how dominant he was on course. He made eagles on the seventh and 12th holes and got his putter going, amassing a whopping 48-metres with of putts during his round.

A second round of one-under 70 at Waikanae was good enough to cruise to victory, meaning he now joins Rodney Baltrop as the only five-time winners of the New Zealand Men’s Senior Championship.

Tied for second was Malcom Gulllery, Andrew McGiven, and Logan Scott.

Both McGiven and Scott won the 50 – 54-year-old division, while Gullery took out the 55 – 59-year-old division. Paterson won the 60 – 64 division, John Rademakers won the 65 – 69 division, with Hugh Harrison taking out the 70+ division.
