Luke Toomey goes back-to-back at the Brian Perry Classic

The Brian Perry Classic in its 13th year produced yet another display of just what Pro Ams bring to the game of golf.

Hamilton Golf Club of St Andrews was looking its best ever and PGA NZ professionals and local Juniors set off with their 3 amateur team members for the 18-hole round.

“Greens are running fast” was the murmur around the course and as the afternoon breeze picked up the back nine had elements that gave a bit of extra thought as the shots were being lined up.

Returning back to the clubhouse with final scores Momoka Kobori, Harry Bateman and Luke Toomey all recorded a stellar 3 under par 69 to share the honours and the top prize purse.

The tournament still required to find a winner for the Brian Perry Classic Pro Am Trophy and so it was off to the 18th for a three way play off. It was a great way to cap of the day as the rest of the field enjoyed watching the playoff unfold. Luke Toomey produced a fine tee off shot in second playoff hole to set himself up to take the it out and put his name on the trophy the second year running.

Local Professional Steve Hancock with Event partner Perry Group presented the weighted trophy to Luke Toomey .

The Brian Perry Classic in 2021 delivered yet another great show.
