Reedy defeated Peter Kerekere 1-up in Saturday's final and is now reigning champion of all three of Tairāwhiti's major men's titles — the East Coast Open, King of the Coast and Poverty Bay Open.

Kino White returned to the winner's circle in claiming the Women's Handicap Cup title at the weekend.
White, who returned to Gisborne with husband John last year after several years in Australia, defeated Barb Woods 3 and 2 in the matchplay final.
The flight also went 16 holes, Jacque Akuhata-Nickerson triumphing over Carney Pipi.
Josh Hayes mixed everything from birdies to double bogeys but emerged with his personal best round on Sunday — 78-14-64.
It won him the net by one shot from Ian Loffler, who had two twos in his 80-15-65.
The Lunken Cup mixed pairs is on March 20 and the club is keen to see a full field as this event is used to selected Park's representatives in the ER Black interclub pairs.
The men's Handicap Cup champions will be sorted this weekend, with Anaru Reedy out to continue his Poverty Bay Open-winning form.
He faces Pete Stewart in the senior final while club president Wayne Carpendale meets Matt Henwood in the intermediate final and Jordan Coppen and Glynn Williams do battle in the junior final.
The first of the finals tees off at 9am.
In researching low rounds following Reedy's recent 8-under 64, Golf Roundup tracked down former Park member Vashon Karaka to confirm a sensational 18 holes he recorded “back in the day”.
Gold Coast-based Karaka — the senior men's club champion in 1997 — recalled shooting 10-under 62 off the blue tees with placing.
“I had 28 (8-under) on the front nine and three-putted 12 for a bogey from 10 feet, so it wasn't a perfect round.”
Karaka, who no longer plays, does not think the card was framed and acknowledged it was unofficial.
