Krystal Ellis now has her name on one of the coveted Dawnbusters winner’s shirts after carding a big six-shot win at Carpentaria Golf Club on 11 August.

The field of 14 golfers could not get close to Ellis on the scoreboard, with an impressive nett 11 more than enough to secure her maiden Sunday morning victory ahead of runner-up Grant Crossley, who was unlucky to finish with silver for his nett 17 after shooting a cracking 45 off the stick.

Dave Sands bagged the men’s long drive for the round, while the women’s gong went unclaimed.

Randal O’Neill took the nearest to the pin chocolates home, with the weekly Hoffman’s getting Simon Ayles’ name engraved on it.

After the round, Ellis said she believed the Dawnbusters shirt, more than the win, would cement her acceptance into the Dawnbusters family.

Players will tee off at 7am on 18 July, with new and visiting golfers in Weipa always welcome to join the fun.
