New South Welshman Anthony Summers has won the 2014 Coca-Cola Queensland PGA Championship at the City Golf Club in Toowoomba.

Shooting 24-under 256 this is Summers’ first four round victory since turning professional in 1991, having previously finished runner-up in several events including the NSW Open twice.

“I’m ecstatic, relieved, elated, I’m just feeling a whole mix of emotions at the moment,” said Summers.

“I’ve had a lot of chances to win in the past so to have a three shot buffer on the last was fantastic.”

“I was still as nervous as a kitten on the 18th hole, my heart was beating a million miles a minute.”

Providing an exciting final round, New Zealander Ryan Fox went head to head with Summers eventually finishing runner-up on 21-under the card.

“Ryan’s length is prodigious, if he hits it straight there won’t be too many who can compete with him,” added Summers.

Summers sealed the victory with a miracle eagle on the par-5 16th hole.

“I hardly missed a fairway all week and I hit the worst tee shot of the week, it was a big spear cut right with my three wood,” added Summers.

“I was under the trees with a little gap then I had to go over the trees further down.”

“My last words as I put my club down were, ‘be nice.’ I thought this could go anywhere.”

“It clipped a little bit on the way up and down, next thing I heard was a massive roar and I was just in shock.”

“It was ridiculous but I am going to take it with both hands and run.”

After struggling with a back injury in the final two rounds, Summers was relieved to finally have his name engraved on the Charles Bonham Trophy.

“I have a long history of back issues and it felt very close to going this morning,” added Summers.

“I was very concerned, I didn’t go to the range at all this morning, I spent a lot of time with the physio.”

“I have had a good history at the Queensland PGA, I finished second here in 1996 and had a couple of thirds including last year. It’s nice to get my first win at a tournament I have played well in the past.”

Victorian David Bransdon made a Sunday charge for the title shooting an 8-under 62 to finish outright third on 19-under the card.

A further shot back was defending champion Brad Kennedy and West Australian Stephen Dartnall.

The PGA Tour of Australasia now heads south for the Oates Victorian Open to be played at 13th Beach Golf Links.
