Brett Rumford capped off a memorable week at the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth on Sunday, as he beat the 17-year-old Phachara Khongwatmai in the competition final 2 & 1 to clinch the title.
In a unique bracket setup, the two men progressed to the last stage, which was played over six holes in a matchplay format, by winning their respective matches throughout the day. The Australian proved to be too strong for his young opponent, securing his first victory in almost four years.
Rumford had cemented his status as the top seed for the knockout stage by finishing top of the leaderboard after three days with a score of 17-under par, five shots clear of the rest of the field.
