Bourke wins South West Open

Victorian golfer Rory Bourke has had the biggest win of his career to date, winning the 65th Nexus South West Open this afternoon.

The 27-year-old shot nine under par over the three days to win by two strokes from Ben Seward.

Bourke said it was the biggest win of his career.

“It was a great weight lifted off the shoulders,” he said.

“Coming into the last two Ben and I were pretty close.

“He missed a short one on the 17th and that gave me a two shot lead heading into the last hole. That made me relax a bit.”
