The Gippsland Super 6 is a golf tournament that was played for the first time in November 2019. It is played at Yallourn Golf Club near Morwell, a town in the Latrobe Valley area of Gippsland, in south-eastern Victoria, Australia.
Format
The tournament uses a "Super 6" format. The first three days consist of ordinary stroke play, with a cut after 36 holes reducing the field to the top 50 and ties. After 54 holes, the field is cut to a fixed 24. On the final day, there is a knock-out phase, when six-hole stroke play contests are played. The leading 8 players after 54 holes receive a bye to the second round.[1]
History
Because of bad weather the inaugural event in 2019 was reduced to 54 holes, the knockout phase being abandoned. Tom Power Horan won with a score of 205, 11 under par, beating Brady Watt by a stroke.[2]
Marcus Fraser won the 2021 event, beating Swiss professional Alessandro Noseda by a stroke in the final. Fraser had been close to defeat in his opening knockout match against Andrew Martin. Martin was two strokes ahead to hole to play but then had a double-bogey, while Fraser made a bogey.[3]
