Sydney professional Peter Lonard today won his third Australian PGA championship in six years at the Hyatt Resort at Coolum.
Lonard closed with a seven-under 65 for a 20 under total to beat New Zealand's David Smail (68) by three shots.
Tied for third were West Australian Greg Chalmers, who had a sizzling final round of 65, which included six straight birdies on the back nine, Victorian Scott Laycock and promising West Australian Michael Sim all on 15-under.
World No.6 Adam Scott finished six shots behind Lonard after a gallant four-under 68 in a tie for sixth.
South African overnight leader Rory Sabbatini dropped away to finish tied eighth several shots behind Lonard...

I was really pleased for Peter who had a horror year on the US PGA tour and in his interview after winning suggested he was ready to give up the game a few months earlier. He just loves coming back to Australia and always seems to find his game down under. Congratulations Peter!
I was disappointed with Adam Scott's week (or should I say 3rd round) and I hope he bounces back from this.
