David Puig made history by winning the Australian PGA Championship, finishing with a flawless final round of 66 to clinch the title by two strokes. This victory marks Puig's first title on the DP World Tour and places him alongside the legendary Seve Ballesteros as the only Spaniards to achieve this feat.
Puig began the final round tied for the lead but quickly established a commanding position with three consecutive birdies early in the round. His performance was characterized by precision and composure, showcasing his potential as a rising star in professional golf.
"It feels amazing to win here, especially given the history of this tournament and the great players who have won it before me," Puig said after his victory. The Australian PGA Championship is co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australia and the DP World Tour, making it a significant event in the global golf calendar.
