In truly dominant fashion Dominic Barson has won the Augusta Funds Management, Taranaki Open presented by PipeTech by four shots today.
The local professional was a man on a mission as he claimed his maiden Jennian Homes Charles Tour title. Starting the round one shot behind Kerry Mountcastle, Barson came out firing as he recorded five birdies in six holes and was untouchable from there as he carded an impressive round of 7-under 65.
To see a local champion is always special and it means a lot to our new winner and local community.
"Its certainly very special to win one here, I turned pro when I was 16 and thats a long time ago, so I must have played 50 or 60 of these events over the years, so its nice to finally win one," beamed Barson.
"Its an amazing feeling and I hit it really well today and carded no bogeys which was the main plan for the round."
