Adam Bland, we saw him miss the green just short left here at the opening hole. Five strokes back. You do not want to be dropping a shot early. And that’s some pretty nifty touch there from Blandy. Well done at a six out of 10 now. Doug Klein with his second. Much lower trajectory trying to skip it back there and does that beautifully. Excellent technique. Yeah, it was a great action, wasn’t it? Beautiful approach into the second for Doug Klein. He can move within three with this birdie putt. There you go. Moves up into second spot as well. [Applause] A beautiful shot, Adam Bland to take bow. Yes, you beauty. Wow. We talked someone needed to make a move if they were going to catch Matias. Tying it down. Good looking swing. Oh yeah, that is a very nice shot from Sanchez. Tell you what, he’s only just cleared now. Harlock, this is his fourth on the par four seventh after hitting the tree with his second and then pitching to here. Nicely done. would would have been the first birdie here on seven. Third there for Doug Lane. That’s a pretty handy shot as well. Now it’s not easy to overcome that scar tissue. Now Sanchez long second shot here at seven. Beautiful shot. Oh, they love it. That is a golf shot. Staring it down and rightly so. Just needs to put a couple of good holes together in a row. Hayden, this one beautiful high towering shot if it’s far enough. Anthony Quail is four under par for the round to jump inside the top 10 at eight under par. Harlock third at eight. A little more. We’ll check in shortly with Ryan how they’ve ended up. He’s found most of the golf course today. Hayden Baron, Adam Bland narrowly missing the chip in there at eight. That’s an aggressive swing. He’s liking it. And why not? Look at that for a shot. He’ll have that left for Eagle on the par five ninth. Someone who tried to smash it over this corner was Hayden Baron, who’s looks like he’s almost out the other fairway there, Ryan. Yeah. Playing from the women’s tea on the ninth, hoisting it over the trees, done that very well. Once again, excellent rotation through the ball, releasing it up there. Yeah, not too bad inside the top 12 who were over path for the round. Blake Wind at the front edge of the par five ninth lofts it up there. Tries to take that front ridge out of play. We’ve got a contender for shot of the day. Adam Bland, watch your back cuz Blake Wind take advantage here and make a birdie. He’s going to have a minimum five-stroke lead going into the back nine. And given the the relative difficulty of the golf course today, it’s going to take a catastrophe for him not to win this tournament. Shortsided here at nine, Stacy for Hayden. Fourth shot. Yes. Difficult pitch shot here. Going to have to land it on this fringe. Well, he made that look quite easy. He did. And it wasn’t, was it? Having to land it on that kua grass that could do anything. at volunteers and the people helping out at these WebEx players series events throughout the season. Doug Klein with his third to 10. That was tasty. A challenger, Australia’s leader in retirement income. Adam Bland over the back of 10. What a superb flop shot that was. Safely secured for next year. Wow. Sounds like a David Malooi round of golf as we watch Cameron Harlock. Oh, beautiful approach here on the 11th. Thinking his situation right now, let’s not get too greedy. Oh, that is a beautifully played golf shot from Sanchez. Last time he did that on the eighth, that ball got caught up in the rough. Not so on that occasion. Well done. Drop this and Sanchez misses. I’m I’m four back. Still half a chance. Right on. Couldn’t agree more. Euan, you called it, Euan. For downtown about 40 ft away. What a scorecard he has had since the ninth hole. Bingo. Right in the middle. The old hip slap clap in the background there. When you’re holding a beer in one hand, that’s what you do. We saw he played three-wood to this position. We’re starting to see some pretty exquisite shots being played. Has danger written all over it in the end. Has he gone too far? Looks like it’s just pulled up short of the bunker there. Ry just on that side. Go back to 15 in the trials of tribulations here of Hayden Baron. Oh, that’s exquisitly done. [Applause] Stay st Nicely done. It’s a good spot there. We’ll be petting putting slightly back up the hill. Second for Klein at 18. Tidy. Very tidy. That P will be to join. He’s done it too. Adam Bland. What a finish. What a comeback. What a back nine. Wow. He listened to the crowd. The crowd favorite. I’m sure that’s what he’s imagining or picturing at the moment. Yeah, it’s well played and a good chance for a park. Got a great angle here. Beautiful roll that was never missing. Matias Sanchez, take a bow. Under the most intense pressure and it’s the first circle on his scorecard today. And what a time to do it. Like a nice little smooth wedge. Exactly as you called it, Nick. Under the hole. [Applause] [Music] Yeah, well done. Up on that top level. Well done. Well done, Hayden Baron. 13 under par, one over par today, but a great back n 32 after he struggles the front. And just a tap in left for Matias Sanchez. His first career Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia victory. He’s your 2025 WebEx Players Series South Australia champion. [Applause] It was a hard-fought win. It wasn’t easy. He was made to work for it. Conditions were brutal this final day.
