What a finish from Chris Abutaa today as he stole a memorable victory in the inaugural Stonecutters Ridge Handiskins Club Championship in a dramatic finish. Despite being part of numerous drawn holes acrorss the day, Abutaa arrived at the 17th tee without a single Skin against his name. Thankfully there was $400 up for grabs after a mega jackpot had accumulated, and it was Abutaa that was rewarded for his patience holing the putt that mattered most. Abutta went on to close out the 18th hole as well and take out the inaugural Handiskins Championship at Stonecutters Ridge, edging out fellow finalists Stephen Dowd, Steve Loader $295 and Mark Cadle. Well done guys, what a thrilling final and it was great to see everyone in the money. We hope to see you at the Handiskins National Championship at RACV Royal Pines 29th April to 3rd May on the Gold Coast.
All four finalists received a Bridgestone Golf Cap and fought kit out for their share in $1200 of Club Vouchers. The final standings were:
- Chris Abutaa - $495
- Stephen Dowd & Steve Loader - Both $295
- Mark Cadle - $115
