Australia’s Norris romps to Fiji International victory
Print Edition
AUSTRALIAN Jason Norris claimed his biggest career victory yesterday when he shot a 5-under-par 67 to win the Fiji International by four shots.
The 44-year-old from South Australia began the final round a shot behind countryman Wade Ormsby and carded eight birdies and three bogeys to finish out in front with a four-round total of 14-under 274. Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond drained a 66-foot eagle putt to set a course-record of 8-under 64 and finish in a three-way tie for second at 10-under with Australians David McKenzie and James Marchesani. The overnight leader Ormsby closed with a 73 to tie for fifth, five shots behind Norris, who had won three smaller events on the Australasian Tour between 2007 and 2010 but almost gave up the sport when he contracted meningitis in 2013. “I said a couple of years ago when I was about to quit that I didn’t want to give it away until I had won a big tournament because I know I can,” Norris said.
