In the final between Jordan and Jared, both players went shot for shot early until Loof birdied the fifth to lead by one going into the final hole of regular play.
However, Jared wasn’t done with that easily and produced a magnificent birdie of his own to force extra holes again. The pair shaved the hole countless times in the sudden-death playoff, making pars the first three times.
Jordan took the initiative and went straight at the flag again, hitting his approach to around the same distance he did in the semifinal but from the other side of the hole.
He rolled in the winning putt and let out all his emotions as he realised he’d just won his first Jennian Homes Charles Tour event.
“It feels really special. I’m still trying to process it. can’t express how happy I am; I’ve had a few close calls on Jennian Homes Charles Tour events and I’ve missed a few key putts when it mattered most. To see a couple of them slide early was a little daunting, but I couldn’t be happier to see one of them drop when it mattered.”
Jared Edwards took home the silver medal and finished as the leading amateur after an outstanding week of golf that included an albatross in the first round.
