Drewitt was not expecting his opponent to miss, some observers said he even winced a little it happened, but it opened the door for the Inverell golfer to take out his first victory since turning professional last year.

Drewitt was committed to the PGA Tour China Series since qualifying for the circuit in March. 

He said he will play all 12 events, and prior to this win his tie for 13th at the Buick Open was his best result.

He said he was stoked with his win.

“This early in my career, to get the monkey off my back is great,” Drewitt said.

“It’s happened a lot quicker than I thought it would, but this is what we play for and I’ve just got to keep it going now.

“I’m just looking forward to the rest of the season right now, I can’t get ahead of myself.”

For the past six months Drewitt has been training hard to get his fitness levels up and he said he also thought everything he had done as an amateur had brought him to the place he is now.

His family came to Inverell when he was seven.

“That’s when I started swinging a golf club with dad. Dad got me into the game and in my early years he helped me out. Then I got onto the junior clinics at Inverell Golf Club,” Drewitt said. 

“I played a lot of cricket when I was younger too, and all the sports. I had to juggle them about. 

“I played for Campbell and Freebairn and I try to play as much as I can when I’m back.”

Drewitt chose golf ahead of cricket when he was 13-year-old and has come a long way.

“Hopefully I can go ahead and finish in that top five, and hopefully get over to the US where I want to play and where my dreams are. I’ve still got a long road ahead of me,” he said.
