Victorian Adam Burdett

Burdett wins Vanuatu Open in thrilling finish

Starting the final round one shot behind Castle Hill Professional, Alex Edge, Burdett posted five birdies on his outward nine to reach 18-under to take a five-stroke lead.

Quietly surging up the leaderboard in the penultimate group, Michael Wright and Chris Wood took advantage of a stumble from Burdett on the back nine to see all players locked on 16-under as they approached the last.

Wright hit a great wedge to five-feet and converted the birdie to finish regulation play with a 17-under tournament total with rounds of 71, 70, 66 and 64.
