David Law produced an incredible finish to overhaul Wade Ormsby and win his first European Tour title at the ISPS Handa Vic Open.

The Scotsman had called a penalty on himself to surrender a bogey on the ninth after accidentally making his ball move, which left him five shots back at the turn. He was still three shots off the pace as he stood on the 16th tee at 13th Beach Golf Links but he made a birdie there and then produced a stunning second shot to eight feet on the par-five 18th hole to set up an eagle.

“I never thought it would have happened at the start of today, but I dug in on the back nine. Especially those last three holes, we tried hard to finish really strong. We just knew on 18 that we were in the hunt. Until then it was just try to get in position for a top three, top two finish.

“Standing on the 18th fairway we knew making eagle we would put pressure on. Had a great shot in. It was a nice putt. It was eight feet down the hill, pretty straight. You just needed to get it going. I mean, it was amazing. I kind of thought I pulled it a little bit and it snuck in the left edge. It was a relief to see it drop."

That big finish put the 27 year old into a share of the lead with Ormsby at 18 under par and when the home favourite made a double-bogey on the 17th, he needed an eagle of his own on the last to force a play-off. When he could only make a birdie, Challenge Tour graduate Law secured a one-shot victory in just his 18th European Tour appearance.

“You’ve got to try to take the positives from it. Disappointed for sure, would have been nice to get one on home soil, but onwards to next week.

“The game feels strong, I probably had a lot of chances to put everyone away early with the putter. It’s not like I putted badly I just burned the edges and they just didn’t drop. The one that stands out is obviously 17, it was just frustrating missing it there. Overall it was there for the taking, I just need to play a little smarter. But apart from one hole all good.”


The win completes a remarkable turnaround on the course for Law, who was on the brink of taking on other work over the winter before winning last season's SSE Scottish Hydro Challenge hosted by Macdonald Hotels & Resorts and finishing 14th on the Challenge Tour to secure his European Tour card for the 2019 season.

Brad Kennedy finished in a share of second place at 17 under par alongside countryman Ormsby, one shot clear of South Africa's Justin Harding.

Another Australian in Jason Scrivener made it four top tens from five starts in the 2019 season as he finished at 15 under pr alongside countryman David Bransdon and Scot David Drysdale, with Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts and Frenchman Clément Sordet a further shot back.

Round 3 - Ormsby battles into ISPS Handa Vic Open lead

Wade Ormsby takes a two-shot lead into the final round of the ISPS Handa Vic Open after a testing day at 13th Beach Golf Links.

After very low scoring in the opening two rounds, high winds and some heavy rain made life far more difficult on Saturday, with Ormsby recovering from an early double-bogey to card a two-under par round of 70 and move to 15 under par.

“I made a bit of a meal of it straight out of the box. It was just tough out there. Warming up we knew it was going to be a really tough day, trying to find a way to keep the ball down. I just kept grinding really. That's all we can do in weather like that. You're going to hit a lot of bad shots, need to recover a lot and I did that quite well, so I'm happy.

“There is a little bit of margin around here. The greens are still soft. I said to my caddie if the greens were firm, that would have been a debacle out there. But the greens are soft enough that if you hit good shots, you'll still get rewarded, so it was okay."

Ormsby claimed his first European Tour title at the 264th time of asking at last season's UBS Hong Kong Open en route to finishing a career-high 48th on the Race to Dubai Rankings presented by Rolex. The 38 year old Australian is now eying a second title just over a year later on home soil.

His countryman Matthew Stieger, who teed off in the first group, recorded the round of the day with a stunning 65 to sit at 13 under par alongside England's Callum Shinkwin, who signed for an impressive 66.

“ We got hammered with the rain for about three or four holes there, so it was really good to get through that stretch," said Stieger. "No bogeys today, which is really nice. Just stuck to my game plan out there. Sort of had to hit away from a few flags because they were tucked a little bit, but made really good use of the ones that I could go at.

“I've got a redemption to do; 2014 I got beat in a playoff here, so sort of hopefully try to get into a position like that again and see how we go.”

Challenge Tour graduate David Law of Scotland, South African Justin Harding and Australia's Brad Kennedy are three shots off the lead at 12 under par. Australian David Bransdon, Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium and Irishman Paul Dunne are one shot further back at 11 under par.

“It was playing really difficult," said Law, "17, for example, we had it playing a four-club wind. You needed to hang in, you needed to be in control of your ball and get a bit lucky at times and hole some putts, which luckily I did.

“You needed to be patient. And luckily it's a links-style golf course, you can run the ball in, which I'm used to doing. You need to be patient, you need to know any small mistake is going to get exaggerated in the wind. So as long as you accept that sometimes bogey is not that bad a score, you'll be okay.”

The innovative ISPS Handa Vic Open is making its first appearance on the Race to Dubai, with men and women playing over the same layouts in separate tournaments for equal prize money.

The two fields of 156 players teed off in alternating groups over the Beach and Creek courses in the first two rounds, with the action taking place on the Beach layout over the weekend. After a second cut at the end of round three, each field is cut to 35 players and ties.

In the women's event, American Kim Kaufman had a late stumble but takes a two-shot lead into the final round after moving to ten under par with a round of 75. Celine Boutier of France matched the lowest round of the day with a 69 to sit alongside home favourite Su Oh at eight under par.

Round 2 - Flanagan and Scrivener lead the home charge in Australia

Nick Flanagan and Jason Scrivener share a one shot lead going into the weekend in the ISPS Handa Vic Open, as home favourites dominate the leaderboard at 13th Beach Golf Links.

Scrivener has three top tens from four events so far in the 2019 Race to Dubai, and he continued his excellent start to the season as he stayed bogey-free with a second-round 66 to get to 14 under par and set the pace at the end of the morning session.

"Two solid days' work. Can't really fault it. I played nicely, so look forward to the weekend. Knowing there's a lot of birdies out there, if you try to rush them you can make mistakes, so it's just plodding your way around and being smart about it.

"Anytime your game's in a good place and you're constantly making cuts and putting yourself in contention, it's good for confidence.

“I just feel like over the last six months I've made some big improvements in my game and steadily progressing the last couple years. I feel like it's in a good position and I just want to give myself more chances to win tournaments."

He was then joined by overnight leader Flanagan, who followed up a ten under par 62 with a second round 68 on the Beach course. He had earlier moved into a slender lead before dropping his only shot of the day on the 16 th hole to take a share of the lead with Scrivener, one shot ahead of countryman Wade Ormsby.

“I think yesterday was a bit of a surprise, but at the same time I played well and kind of got everything out of my game. I'm probably happier with today's round considering it was backing up that 62. 

“ The last three or four holes it got a little tricky, and from what I've seen in the weather report it's going to be blowing another 10 or 15 kilometres stronger tomorrow. It definitely makes a couple of holes really tricky and anybody that can keep it on the ground a little quicker over the weekend is going to do well.

“It could have been anything today, probably could have been a couple better, but I had my fair share of long putts and good breaks so far the first two days. To be up there at the top of the leaderboard is obviously great and we'll go out on the weekend and just keep doing what I'm doing.”

The innovative ISPS Handa Vic Open is making its first appearance on the Race to Dubai, with men and women playing over the same layouts in separate tournaments for equal prize money. The two fields of 156 players have teed off in alternating groups over the Beach and Creek courses in the first two rounds, with the action now set to take place on the Beach layout after the second round cut.

Matt Jager and Brad Kennedy round off an all-Australian top five at 12 under par at the half way point in the men's event, while Clément Sordet of France, Scot David Law and another Australian in Nick Cullen are one shot further back.

Northern Ireland's David Hoey, Kiwi Ryan Fox and Grant Forrest of Scotland are among a group of seven players at ten under par.

The men's tournament at the Barwon Heads venue is co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia, while the women's championship is co-sanctioned by Australian Ladies Professional Golf and the Ladies Professional Golf Association.

Kim Kaufman of the United States holds a two-shot lead over Japan's Haru Nomura in the women's event, after back-to-back rounds of 66 took her to 13 under par.

Round 1 - Flanagan sets the pace in Victoria

Home favourite Nick Flanagan recorded a brilliant round of 62 to take a two-shot lead at the end of a low-scoring first day of the ISPS Handa Vic Open.

“Just had one of those days where everything seemed to kind of go right. If I hit a bad shot, it would just miss a bunker and end up in a nice lie, knocked it up close and kind of just kept momentum going."

Flanagan opened with a ten under par total - one shot away from the course record on the Creek course at 13th Beach Golf Links. The 34 year old has six professional wins worldwide but is chasing his first European Tour title in just his 16th event after finishing in the top ten at this season's Australian PGA Championship.

“The two bogeys I had were really, really easy bogeys from nowhere. But I knew that if I could just keep hitting it in the middle of the greens over there, I was putting well enough that eventually I was going to make a couple more birdies.

“I had a bogey when I was at six under, and then next thing you know, birdie, birdie, eagle and you're at nine under. The rest of it is history. So, it can come up that quick.

Meanwhile, history was made over on the Beach course as countryman James Nitties carded a world record-equalling nine birdies in a row while matching the course record with a round of 64.

After teeing off from the tenth, his incredible run from the 15 th to the fifth matched the feat of 1989 Open Championship winner Mark Calcavecchia at the 2009 Canadian Open on the US PGA Tour.

“I don't hold any other world records that I know of, so to be a part of one is pretty cool. Had a good chance for that 10th birdie, but I didn't want to break it. It's such a longstanding record, I wouldn't do that to Mark (Calcavecchia), so it's good to hold it with him.

“I was kind of devastated last year when I was four holes away from a European Tour card and currently have no status. I mean, I have partial status on the Web.com Tour that will get me no starts.

“Any time I can play well in a co-sanctioned event and throw myself in the mix to have a chance to maybe get some status or even just play well in an event like this, it's always good. Happy to start the year like that and, I mean, it was a cracking day, so it was good fun.”

Austrian Bernd Wiesberger made nine birdies in a row at the 2017 Maybank Championship but with preferred lies in play on that occasion, Nitties' run of nine consecutive gains made him the first player to officially do it on the European Tour.

That took him into a tie for second place alongside Englishman Callum Shinkwin, New Zealand's James Anstiss and Chilean Hugo Leon, all of whom also equalled the course record.

Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open at Anahita champion Kurt Kitayama and another local star in Jason Scrivener are also at eight under par after playing the Creek course, a shot clear of Scotland's Grant Forrest, Swede Anton Karlsson and five Australians - Peter Cooke, Matthew Griffin, Lucas Herbert, amateur Andre Lautee and Wade Ormsby.

“It was good, really solid," said Kitayama. "Just dropped one shot on the last there, but overall I was happy I was able to get some scoring on the back nine. A lot of opportunities on that Creek side, for sure. Just felt like I didn't take advantage of the front, but I was able to make up for it on the back.

“It's fairly open on the Creek side. Going to the Beach course tomorrow I'll be in the afternoon and it's going to be windy so it's going to be a lot tougher to drive. I'll hit a few this afternoon and try and get some rest, too.”

The innovative ISPS Handa Vic Open is making its first appearance on the Race to Dubai, with men and women playing over the same layouts in separate tournaments for equal prize money. The men's event is co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia, while the women's championship is co-sanctioned by Australian Ladies Professional Golf and the Ladies Professional Golf Association.
