Daniel Hoeve took a four stroke lead into the final round of the Golf SA Amateur Classic at Glenelg Golf Club in Adelaide and needed to draw upon all the experience to secure his maiden Australasian amateur title win.<\/p>\n

Locked at 2-under-par with Nathan Holman and Aaron Wilkin heading down the 18th, Hoeve produced at sensational win with a birdie on the last to secure a one stroke victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was tight and my ball striking finally got me over the line,\u201d said Hoeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a slow start out there, but was able to hang in there and on the back nine play some solid golf to get the win. Overall, this is a very satisfying win for me against a strong field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoeve entered Sunday\u2019s final round looking all the part to collect his first main amateur title.<\/p>\n

Yet when Nathan Holman blasted the opening 290 metre par 4 to land on the green for one to secure his birdie after Wilkin holed his, the stage was then set for a tight final after Hoeve bogeyed the first three holes to open the gate for his contenders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not the start I was after,\u201d said Hoeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I knew there were birdies to be had on the back nine and I just hung in there. I kept playing solid golf and that was enough to get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n
