Anthony Quayle has finished in a share of 3rd place at a jointly sanctioned event between the Korean, Japan, and Asian Tours, the Shinhan Donghae Open in Incheon, Korea.
The 29-year-old Gold Coast-based golfer, completed the event just two shots behind the playoff between the eventual winner, Guntaek Koh of Korea and Thailand’s Pachara Khongwatmai.
Quayle shared third place with Japanese star and former Australian Amateur Champion, Keita Nakajima, and American Richard Lee and added another US$53,000 to his Japan Tour earnings for 2023.
The finish will move Quayle to 14th on the Japan Tour money list with ¥26 million (A$270,000) and represents his second-best finish of 2023 following his runner-up finish at the Sega Sammy Cup in Hokkaido in early July.
Quayle will lament a double bogey finish to his round on Saturday but it was nonetheless an improvement on his most recent form which had seen two missed cuts in his last three starts.
The next best of the Australians was Travis Smyth who finished in 19th place.
