Greg Chalmers won the Australian PGA Championship yesterday after a dramatic three-way play-off with Adam Scott and Wade Ormsby.

Chalmers clinched the title for the second time in his career when he safely parred the seventh extra hole and Scott three-putted for bogey after the trio had finished tied at 11-under-par.

Replaying the par-four 18th hole over and over again, Ormsby missed a four-foot birdie putt on the second play-off hole that would have secured him the championship.

Ormsby was then eliminated from the play-off on the third extra hole when Scott and Chalmers both made birdies and he missed with his third shot, a chip from just off the green.

Scott and Chalmers then proceeded to par the 470-yard hole three more times before Scott three-putted from less than 30 feet to hand the 41-year-old Chalmers his 10th professional title.

"Just phenomenal, I'm worn out," said Chalmers. "I was all over the place ... really excited and thrilled."
