Rhein Gibson will draw inspiration from Newcastle favourite Nick Flanagan at this week’s TPS Hunter Valley as he plots a return to the US PGA TOUR in 2024.
An enthralling final day saw the lead change hands on a number of occasions but it was always Pike and New Zealand’s Momoka Kobori in the top two positions, ultimately finishing tied at eight-under and three clear of the rest of the field.
Once a Hunter product tipped to challenge the likes of Jan Stephenson and Jack Newton as one of the region’s greatest ever golfers, Flanagan returns for the TPS Hunter Valley at Cypress Lakes Golf and Country Club facing his own golf mortality.
