Adrian Meronk, Ashleigh Buhai, and Kipp Popert win at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open
Polish golfer Adrian Meronk lifted the 2022 ISPS Handa Australian Open trophy on Sunday, December 4, defeating home favorite Adam Scott by five shots.
Ashleigh Buhai won the women's event title, while England golfer Kipp Popert grabbed the All Abilities title for para golfers.
Former World No. 1 Adam Scott had a one-shot overnight lead but sealed the runner-up position thanks to his final-round score of 2-over 72. Meronk, who won the European Tour in July, added a second tour title this year.
For the first time in the history of golf, the ISPS Handa Australian Open offered an equal purse for men's and women's events, with all the events organized concurrently on two courses.
Meronk and Buhai earned points to be added to their world rankings with this win and took home a whopping amount of prize money. Adrian won €187,251, while the women's champion, Ashleigh Buhai, took home €274,550 from the ISPS Handa Australian Open.
