AUSTRALIA’S Richard Green and his Norwegian fiancee Marianne Skarpnord made golf history yesterday by winning the men’s and women’s titles at the Victoria Open on the same course on the same day.
The tournament in Melbourne, Australia, is a professional rarity in which the men’s and women’s tournaments are contested concurrently.
Skarpnord first won the women’s title by two strokes from rising Australian star Su Oh, then waited nervously on the 18th green while Green took the men’s title on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with compatriot Nick Cullen.
