Gold Coast visitor Lindsay Ross showed how much he enjoyed the Sunshine Coast when he stormed home to win the rain-shortened Caloundra Mid-Amateur Championship on Monday.
Originally scheduled for 36 holes, the event was reduced to 18 holes when Sunday’s play was abandoned.
Ross, the captain of Emerald Lakes, shot a brilliant five under-par 66 to take mid-amateur honours.
He was three strokes clear of Daniel Butler and Gold Coaster Ben Ratcliffe.
In mid-March, Ross was runner-up in the district mid-amateur championship at Bribie Island, and has an impressive record in mid-amateur events, which are restricted to golfers aged from 30 to 54.
