Jared Whittal has taken out the 2023 Walsh Consulting Engineers Men’s Sunshine Coast Open Amateur Championship, held at Headland over the Easter weekend. Jared shot a brilliant first-round five-under 67 on Saturday to set up his seven-stroke win (67,73 – 140) over Dave Rattray and Peter Hourn, both scoring three-over 147.
During the 36-hole tournament Jared scored 11 birdies, 19 pars and five bogeys, with his only major blemish a double-bogey as the result of finding a tree root at the par-four 11th hole on Sunday. On a GA handicap of plus three, Jared has played the event just once previously, and was runner-up to Will Florimo last year.
