2011 Emirates Australian Open – Final Round

The 2011 Emirates Australian Open golf tournament finished in exciting style at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney Australia. The final day finished the same as the previous 3 days with a new player atop of the Australian Open Leaderboard.

The new leader and winner of the 2011 Emirates Australian Open was local boy Greg Chalmers who won his second Emirates Australian Open after winning the competition back in 1998. Chalmers shot a 3 under round of 69 to finish 13 under par for the tournament and become the 2011 Emirates Australian Open winner.

However the final day at the 2011 Emirates Australian Open was not plain sailing as he watched nervously from the clubhouse as overnight leader John Senden approached the 18th green.

Senden had a 35 yard putt for birdie which could have took the 2011 Emirates Australian Open to a playoff but that putt would narrowly miss the hole. This allowed an emotional Greg Chalmers to collect the winners cheque and lift the trophy. Overnight leader John Senden would finish the 2011 Emirates Australian Open in second after carding a final round of even par 72 not making any further advance to his overnight lead.
