Josh Geary finished second at the NSW Open.
Mount Maunganui professional Josh Geary has come up just short of claiming his second title on the PGA Tour of Australasia.
The 30-year-old finished in a share of the lead with Victorian Anthony Brown at the NSW Open and the Australian claimed the title after a two hole play-off at
Stonecutters Ridge Golf Club.
Starting the day three shots off the lead, Brown went quietly about his business to shoot 3-under 69 and tie New Zealand's Geary at 14-under 274 at the end of regulation play. After 15 holes, Brown had caught overnight co-leaders Geary and James Nitties at 14-under the card, however, a bogey on the par-3 16th saw him drop out off the pace.
Heading to the 18th hole, now two shots off the lead, Brown made a clutch birdie to be in the clubhouse at 14-under the card.
He watched on as Nitties made bogey on 16 and then Geary on 17, he briefly held the outright lead, but a birdie on 18 from Geary saw them headed to a play-off.
