“I hit a really, really good drive straight down the middle and then I had just over 200 to the pin. It was a little bit into the wind off the left and I just felt really good over the ball and hit the best 3-wood of my life to about four foot and then holed it.”

Past heartaches including a Moonah Links near miss are driving local hope Terry Pilkadaris to earn a breakthrough ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia title at this week’s Victorian PGA Championship.
To be conducted concurrently with the Celebrity Amateur Challenge, the Victorian PGA is the first of two consecutive events at Moonah Links, the Legends Course and Open Course both in use this week with the Open Course assuming sole hosting rights for the Moonah Classic the following week.
It was on the Open Course 12 years ago that Pilkadaris came up just short at the Moonah Classic that for three years was co-sanctioned with the secondary US Nationwide Tour.
