With rounds of 70, 72 and 70 in the first three days of the West Australia PGA Open in Bunbury, Goondiwindi’s Andrew Bonhomme headed up the 15th in the final round on Sunday at three under.

In tough and windy conditions, he managed to put behind him one of his most frustrating years yet as a professional golfer and birdied the final four holes.

When his 20 foot putt on the 18th dropped into the hole, it looked like he would be in a play-off with overnight leader Hamish Robertson of New Zealand.

Robertson was seven-under heading up the 18th, his third shot rolling within a half-metre of the pin setting him up for a straight-forward par.

He missed the putt, giving Andrew his first win for the year and an open door into the Australian PGA and the Australian Open.

And another crack at the world’s best golfer, Tiger Woods, at the Masters in two weeks.

A contingent of keen Goondiwindi supporters will be there to cheer him on.

“I’ve been playing some very ordinary golf and its been a very frustrating few years,” he said on Monday.

Andrew has spent the last two years competing in the US Nationwide Tour and trying to secure a position in US PGA Tour.

“It’s good to turn it around and get this win.

“I hung in with a lot of good shots but nothing seemed to drop for me until the final few holes.”

Andrew will now head to Toowoomba to compete in Queensland PGA Championship, which begins on Thursday.

All Whites’ cricketers are taking some of the credit for the victory.

“We got him to play for us a few weeks ago and we reckon that got his eye in,” mate Brian Steer said.
