A two-under-par 70 in the final round was enough for Joe Knox to secure a wire-to-wire victory at the Betway Big Easy Tour 10 at State Mines Country Club on Thursday.
Knox finished on 16-under-par 200, three shots ahead of Slade Pickering, Brandon-Lee Geere and Brandon Gildenhuys, who shared second place on 13-under-par 203.
It was Knox’s second title on the Betway Big Easy Tour.
Going into the final round with a two-shot advantage, Knox opened with a birdie at the third hole before dropping a shot at the fourth. He recovered with a birdie at the fifth, but dropped another shot at the eighth before picking up a birdie at the ninth to make the turn in 35.
On the back nine, Knox birdied the 10th, dropped a shot at the 14th and picked up another birdie at the 16th for an inward 35.
Tyron Davidowitz, Matthew Bennett and amateur Stefan Jacobs finished tied for fifth place on 12-under-par 204.
