The pair were the favourites ahead of the event, with world number one and hometown hero Jamie Reid looking to break the magical speedgolf score of a hundred on his home track, while Liz McKinnon looked to keep her undefeated record in New Zealand intact.

Fitzroy Golf Club presented a new challenge as the tournament’s new home since the event shifted from Whitford Park last year.

Reid was expected to get around Fitzroy in between 30 and 32 minutes, and his golf would decide whether he’d get the job done or not around the par 68 golf course.

As expected, Reid quickly came out of the gates, and his dream of beating a hundred was hanging in the balance. He returned a score of 69 in 31 minutes and 18 seconds to post a speedgolf score of 100.18 to just miss out on breaking the milestone number.

His round one score was enough to secure the best speedgolf score ever recorded. Unfortunately, it won’t count as a world record as Fitzroy doesn’t meet the minimum course length required for the score to count.

Reid shot 73 in 31 minutes and 55 seconds to finish with 205.13 to win by 11.02 over Ireland’s Rob Hogan.

Liz McKinnon continues to lead the women’s game in New Zealand, winning the women’s title for the fourth time every year she’s entered.

McKinnon opened with 74 in 52 minutes and 54 seconds on Saturday to finish with a score of 126.54 and backed it up with 79 in 52 minutes and 34 seconds on Sunday to finish with 258.28.

She finished ahead of Renee Fowler and Kendall Garrud.
