By NZ GolfIn what was a dramatic final day, Curtis Luck of Australia has come from behind to win the 2016 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and New Zealands Luke Toomey finished third at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea. Luck now the now holds the two biggest prizes in amateur golf after winning the US Amateur earlier in the year as his golfing CV builds at pace. This also left the door slightly ajar for New Zealands Luke Toomey who was making a run on his own with an impressive round of six under (66). It was a special week for the large New Zealand contingent inside and outside the ropes as we prepare to host this amazing event in 2017 at Royal Wellington. To have the worlds best amateurs and the worlds most powerful golfing bodies in our back yard will be something very special.
