SIMPLY STUNNING

Dramatic playoff holes decide QLD PGA

WEST Australian Michael Sim secured his first Queensland PGA Championship in dramatic fashion at City Golf Club yesterday.

Sim beat friend Scott Arnold in a four hole playoff to secure the prestigious title.

The pair battled for the title after Brad Kennedy, who led the championship from day one, saw his title hopes crash after bogeying yesterday’s 17th hole before stumbling to a double bogey on the final hole.
