Jay Mackenzie takes out WA PGA Championship 2022

CKB WA PGA Championship 2022, Kalgoorlie Golf Course, 21-24 April 


Jay Mackenzie, winner of the WA PGA Championship 2022

From PGA Australia, by Martin Blake:

Laid-back Jay Mackenzie secured a career-changing maiden victory on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia at Kalgoorlie Golf Course today, just a few months after a bout of the shanks threatened his future.

Mackenzie, 22, from Lennox Head on the north coast of New South Wales, shot an outstanding final-round 68 to pull away from Austin Bautista, with whom he shared the overnight lead, and win by two shots at 19-under par.

The victory secures his job for two years and, he admitted later, might coax him out of the old van he tends to sleep in when he plays on the eastern seaboard.

“I might not have to sleep in my car as much!” he said afterward when he was asked about the implications of the win.  Read more

From Golf Australia, The Preview by Jimmy Emanuel:

Kalgoorlie Golf Course is something unique in the Australian golfing landscape and a venue thoroughly enjoyed by the field each year at the WA PGA since it took over as host in 2012.

Opened for play in 2010, the course was designed by Australian legend Graham Marsh, who himself was born in Kalgoorlie, and features beautifully manicured playing surfaces surrounded by the red dirt of the outback.  Read more
