Johnnie Walker Classic
As a Perth native, It’s great to see the Johnnie Walker Classic return to The Vines Resort & Country Club. It was a great tournament, with the promising amateur Danny Lee from New Zealand winning by 1 shot. This kid has game. He’s got a good temprament, and an all round package from a powerful long game to a tidy short game. He’ll turn proffesional after the US Masters and I feel he will have a successful professional career.
The fashion was great too. From superstitious #89 shirts to Ian Poulters Johnnie Walker red label and black label clothing outfits. I have to say I feel for John Bikerton. He was co leader going Into the final round and didn’t have a bad last round but he just couldn’t get an ounce of luck. Anthony Kang’s another person I feel sorry for who Imploded in the 3rd round. After leading the tournament after round 2, he shot a 77 and then a 71 final round to finish tied for 48th.
I was a bit dissapointed at seeing Greg Norman and Camilo Villegas miss out on the cut, as well as a whole host of local Australian Players. Still, It was a great tournament with a deserved winner In Danny Lee.
