A highly touted amateur when he joined the play-for-pay ranks, Micheluzzi broke his 8-iron on Friday when striking a tree root on the 10th hole and struggled to feel comfortable with his golf swing until about the same hole on Sunday.

The 26-year-old using that feeling to play the last 10 holes in a nine-under 30 shots to reach 25-under and win by four from overnight co-leader Daniel Gale and fast finishing Deyen Lawson.

“I didn't feel it all with my swing today. It felt awful. I just got a good feel on the last 10 or 11 holes. I hit a couple of good irons shots just with that feel and when the putts needed to drop they dropped,” Micheluzzi said.

"It's all the practice you do, that's what you practice for. Just happy that I can do it under the pump and just stoked. More stoked with the round, just for how bad I felt.

"It probably looked like I was playing good but internally I felt horrendous. I'm just happy shooting 61 really.”

To shoot a 64 on Saturday and 61 on Sunday without his best stuff is a far cry from the blow out rounds that would bob up early in Micheluzzi’s career that kept him from winning on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

That is no longer an issue for the Cranbourne Golf Club product, who extended his lead on the circuit’s Order of Merit, a spot that if he can hold on to will yield a DP World Tour card and a start at the 2023 Open Championship in six weeks’ time when the local Tour season concludes.

“What I did today is the hard work that I've done. Instead of shooting the three, four, five overs which get you out of a tournament, to get them to try to go under par. That's just all course management and swing feels, knowing your game really well,” he said.

"Internally that round felt like a 67, maybe a 66, but I guess some of the putts that I holed late were pretty crazy.”

“The putts” he mentions were just 12 in 10 holes, with Micheluzzi eagling the par-5 9th, before he made seven birdies in eight holes to not only negate the two shot head start he gave to Gale and amateur Jeffrey Guan overnight, but go past the Sydney pair.

Pushing his own bag of clubs across Bonnie Doon’s fairways, Micheluzzi remained calm as Lawson put his own scoreboard pressure on the contenders before four straight pars to close on holes yielding plenty of birdies throughout the week saw his charge come up short.

"I might have a couple of Cokes and then go to bed. I'm knackered.” - David Micheluzzi.

As Lawson was two-putting for par at the last, Micheluzzi all but guaranteed another trophy would join his WA PGA title on the mantle piece when he rolled in his fourth straight birdie at the short par-4 17th to reach 25-under. The resulting fist pump from the man known as ‘Micha’ on Tour showing he knew exactly where he stood.

It was a regulation par at the last and another fist pump for tea totalling Micheluzzi who planned a similar celebration to his Kalgoorlie triumph as he prepares to push his case further to claim the Order of Merit crown and all that comes with it.

“I'm just going to go flat-out. I'm not playing NZ PGA but just go flat-out the next two weeks, try and win both of them. Everything feels good,” he said.

"WA PGA it was myself, Jack Thompson, Kyle MIchel and Blake Collyer, we all had an Air Bnb in Perth and we just got GYG (Guzman Y Gomez). We just got Mexican. I'm happy with that. Chill out with the boys, have a Coke or four. I might have a couple of Cokes and then go to bed. I'm knackered.”
