<\/strong> A Grade Champion \u2013 Justin Hatchett \u2014 Total: 296<\/strong><\/h2>\nA sensational performance across all four rounds, highlighted by superb ball-striking and composure under pressure.<\/p>\n
Entering the last round 4 shots behind the leaders, Justin made up the deficit and stood on the final tee all square with Owen Brightman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sadly, Owen\u2019s bogey on the last opened the door enough for Justin.\u00a0 Under extreme pressure, Justin held his nerve, calmly rolling in a clutch 4-foot par putt<\/strong> which, in the end, was good enough to take the title by a single stroke.\u00a0<\/p>\nA champion\u2019s finish.
\nOutstanding golf, Justin!<\/strong><\/p>\nRunner-up:<\/strong> Owen Brightman \u2013 297

<\/p>\n
<\/strong> A Reserve Champion \u2013 Sal Nati \u2014 Total: 321<\/strong><\/h2>\nThey say the tournament doesn\u2019t get underway until the back nine on the final round.\u00a0 Sal was three shots behind the leader with 8 holes to play, and then something clicked!\u00a0 Sal proceeded with four straight pars before birdieing the 15th<\/sup> hole.\u00a0 He then continued to make two clutch pars at the 16th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup>, giving Sal the luxury of a two-shot lead going up the last.\u00a0 A generous two-putt from 8 feet for bogey was enough to secure a two-stroke victory.\u00a0
\nGreat win, Sal!<\/strong><\/p>\nRunner-up:<\/strong> Drew Simonsen \u2013 323
\nThird Place:<\/strong> Troy Ong \u2013 327<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.castlehillcountryclub.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Club-Championships-2025.jpg-2-360x480.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/strong> B Grade Champion \u2013 Andrew Drummond \u2014 Total: 346<\/strong><\/h2>\nAndrew started the final round 7 shots back of the lead and in last place of the 8 qualifiers.<\/p>\n
He then went on to produce one of the all-time great comebacks, storming through the pack with a final round of 82.<\/p>\n
This was the low round of the tournament by two strokes, and to do it in the final round to record a one-shot win, this will go down in B Grade Championship folklore.
\nHuge congratulations, Andrew!<\/strong><\/p>\nRunner-up (Countback):<\/strong> Rohan Tudor \u2013 347

<\/p>\n
<\/strong> C Grade Champion \u2013 Robert Love \u2014 Total: 374<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the year of great fightbacks, C Grade was another fine example.<\/p>\n
Robert made it through the first qualifying just inside the cut line and a massive 10 strokes behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robert showed an ultra-steady hand over the last two rounds, posting the two lowest scores of the tournament, 88 and 89.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rest of the field just could not keep up with this outstanding play, seeing Robert running away as a 6-shot winner.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well played, Robert!<\/strong><\/p>\nRunner-up:<\/strong> Dom Lousin \u2013 380
