Aussies on Tour: Bransdon posts career best in Washington

David Bransdon

David Bransdon has posted his best finish so far in his rookie season on the PGA TOUR Champions, finishing in a share of eighth at the Boeing Classic in Washington.

The NSW professional fired rounds of 67-72-71 to finish alongside fellow Australian Richard Green (68-73-69) at 6-under-par, five shots behind the winner, Canada’s Stephen Ames.

It’s the third top-10 of the season for Bransdon who has moved up to 48th place in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, while Green, the owner of six top-10s in 2024, has consolidated his fourth position.

Queenslander John Senden produced the low round of the tournament on the final day, a 7-under-par 65, to climb 39 places into a share of 13th.

Meanwhile, Olympians Hannah Green and Minjee Lee will make their next appearance at the AIG British Open at St Andrews on Thursday week.

Despite starting with a 77, Green finished in a tie for fourth in Paris, only missing out on a bronze medal playoff by a shot.

"Overall I'm super proud of myself. My team and I did well today," she said.

"So all in all, to be in contention at a Games, I'm super happy.

"I'm super excited for the next couple of events that I have on my calendar, and I'll take this in a positive way."

On the PGA TOUR, all three Australians – Min Woo Lee, Cam Davis and Aaron Baddeley - and Kiwi Ryan Fox didn’t make it through to the final 36 holes as England’s Aaron Rai claimed the Wyndham Championship title.

Jason Day, who didn’t play following his Olympic Games campaign, remains the leading Australia on the FedEx standings at No.26, while Cam Davis (No.44), Adam Scott (No.46) and Min Woo Lee (No.62) are also safely through to the first Playoffs event, the St Jude Championship, which features the top 70 players.

Last week’s Korn Ferry Tour, Karl Vilips, jumped from 15th to 13th, on the points list with a T21 finish in the Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Woodhouse.
