Shane Luke has successfully defended his title in winning the 2007 Australian Amputee Golf Open at Le Meilleur Horizons Golf Resort. Luke fired a final round 79 to claim the title for the third consecutive year from fellow Queenslander Ben Field.

With hot conditions all week Luke’s consistency proved too strong for the rest of the field, holding his overnight lead of just one shot he broke away today to take the title by eight shots. His round of 73 on the opening day set the pace for the week and being the only one in the field to break 80 on the final day set him up for a comfortable victory with a a total of 231 shots for the tournament.

Ben Field got within a shot of Luke yesterday but was unable to pull back the leader who was in a league of his own today. Field finished in second place with a total of 239 for the tournament.
