Australian Daniel Nisbet has won the ISPS HANDA New Zealand Open at Millbrook Resort near Queenstown. The 27-year-old from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast closed with a brilliant nine-under 62 for a two-shot victory over Terry Pilkadaris.
Nisbet’s aggregate score of 258 smashed the tournament record – 262 set by Rodger Davis at The Grange in 1986.
His 27-under-par aggregate also bettered the lowest score to par – 26 under by Kel Nagle in 1964 at Christchurch Golf Club where he won by 12 shots.
