Perth, Australia, February 18: Here’s five takeaways from the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth, which saw New Zealander Ryan Fox claim his first Asian Tour win on Sunday.
- Prior to his win, Ryan Fox has never featured on a Sunday at the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth. And when he did, he would go on to lift the trophy for his first victory on both the Asian Tour and the European Tour. He came in 25th in 2017 and tied-26th in 2018.
- The 32-year-old Fox is the first New Zealander to win on the Asian Tour since Danny Lee won as an amateur at the Johnnie Walker Classic in Australia in 2009.
- Expectations were high for Adrian Otaegui to win the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth. After all, the Spaniard’s previous victories came from match play or knock out events (2018 Belgian Knockout and 2017 Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match Play). But it was not meant to be for the Spaniard who was playing in the event for the first time.
- Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy made a welcome return home after spending 20 years in the United States. The Major winner was one of the main drawcards for the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 but unfortunately did not feature in the weekend rounds after posting rounds of 76 and 77.
- The Beat the Pro initiative made its Australian debut at the ISPS HANDA World Super 6. It took place during the third round where up to 20 lucky fans got the chance to tee off against the pros for their chance to win $1000 worth of golf products.
