GOLD COAST, Australia -- Australian Nathan Holman parred the first hole of a three-way playoff with American Harold Varner III and South Africa's Dylan Frittelli to win the Australian PGA championship on Sunday.
Holman, who shot a final-round 1-over 73, and Frittelli and Varner, who each had 75s, finished with even-par totals of 288 on a tough, wind-swept Royal Pines resort course.
Holman led by two strokes but bogeyed his final two holes. Varner's birdie attempt on 18 that would have given him the win in regulation slid just wide of the cup.
