West Australian Open

John Hughes Geely / Nexus Risk Services

WA Open Championship

2011 Champion - Rohan Blizard

New South Welshman Rohan Blizard has won the John Hughes Geely/ Nexus Risk Services West Australian Open in dramatic fashion at Royal Fremantle Golf Club today.

The former Australian Amateur champion was a surprise winner following one of the most dramatic finales on Tour.

Entering the clubhouse at 10-under par, Blizard was tied for first with three other equal leaders in Matt Jager, Matt Stieger and Heath Reed still out on course.

What Blizard didn't see was the co-leaders self destructing on the 17th hole.

Heath Reed triple bogeyed 17, Steiger double bogeyed and Jager bogeyed sending the trio back down the leaderboard.

Come the 18th hole Jager was the only person still in contention but needed an eagle to force a playoff.

In the end Jager managed to get up and down for par handing 27 year old Blizard his first professional title by two shots.

Crowd favourite and West Australian Jager finished in equal second at 8-under par alongside Ashley Hall and David McKenzie.

Reed finished a further shot back at 7-under.

Daniel Nisbet finished as the highest ranked amateur at 6-under par.
