Golf: Chalmers claims Australian PGA title

WELLINGTON: Greg Chalmers followed up his Australian Open title win earlier this month by winning the Australian PGA Championship after beating Marcus Fraser and Robert Allenby in a three-way playoff. The Australian was the most consistent on the only playoff hole, the par-four 18th, when he made par, while Allenby missed his long par putt after a wayward drive off the tee. Fraser fell out of contention when he found the water off the tee and then the bunker on the back side of the green. “I was surprised to see that par was good enough, but that’s how it goes some times,” said Chalmers.”
