Port Stephens, Feb 17: Brian Davis of England wins the ANZ Championship. England's Brian Davis won his second European Tour title after a closing seven-under-par 65 clinched the ANZ Championship at Port Stephens, Australia on Sunday (February 15). Davis, who won the 2000 Peugeot Open of Spain, finished with three consecutive birdies to gain +17 points for his round and an overall total of +44 in the modified stableford event co-sanctioned by the Australasian and European tours. Davis, 29, notched 10 birdies and three bogeys in his final round. Under the modified stableford system used this week, players received eight points for an albatross, five for an eagle, two for a birdie, none for a par, minus one for a bogey and minus three for a multiple bogey.

Davis, who started the day 12 points behind Webster, went into the clubhouse with a three-point advantage. Webster had four holes to play and Casey was on the 17th.


Casey, 26, after driving the 280-metre par-4 18th, missed his six-metre eagle putt and had to settle for birdie and a total of +43.


Defending champion Paul Casey of England was second on +43 points after he also fired a 65 at the Horizons Golf Resort about 200 km north of Sydney.


France's Thomas Levet and Australian pair Nick Flanagan, an amateur, and Scott Gardiner were equal third on +39 points.
