Declan O’Donovan has officially arrived.
The 22-year-old Aussie claimed his maiden professional victory at the Webex Players Series Sydney at Castle Hill, finishing a remarkable 25-under par and winning by five shots.
In this episode of Tee It Up, we break down:
• How O’Donovan turned a one-shot overnight lead into total dominance
• The double-bogey moment that could’ve derailed him — and how he responded
• Why this win changes everything for his career (two-year status secured)
• The rapid rise from NSW amateur standout to confident touring professional
We also touch on Steph Kyriacou’s strong showing in the mixed field event and what it says about the strength of Australian golf right now.
Then we shift across the ditch to preview the NZ PGA Championship at Paraparaumu — one of the purest shot-making tests in Australasia.
