2006 JACOB'S CREEK OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Venue: Royal Adelaide Golf Club - Prizemoney: $1,000,000
Winner: Paul Sheehan(NSW) - Score: 277 (-11)
1st Place Prizemoney: $180,000
New South Welshman Paul Sheehan won the 2006 Jacob's Creek Open after two play-off holes against Western Australian Michael Sim.
The 29-year-old bogeyed the second play-off hole but that was enough to beat his rival after Sim could only manage a double bogey.
Sim sprayed his driver right of the fairway, landing out of bounds between a rubbish bin and a corporate tent. He played the hole in regulation, missing a 15-foot putt which would have kept him the playoff.
Sheehan shot five birdies and three bogeys in his 69 on Sunday, following rounds of 73, 70 and 69.

JACOB'S CREEK OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Venue:
Kooyonga Golf Club - Prizemoney: $1,050,000
Winner:
Joe Ogilvie (USA) - Score: 279 (-5)
1st Place Prizemoney: $198,000
Former
USPGA Tour player Joe Ogilvie, from Texas, USA added another title
to his resume of two wins on the Nationwide Tour with a win by one
shot. Ogilvie, a late sponsors exemption, fired a superb wedge out
of the fairway bunker on eighteen onto the green and managed to
salvage a par, enough to hold off a fast finishing Shane Tait from
Queensland by the narrowest of margins. It however was not smooth
sailing for Ogilvie who at one stage was 5 shots ahead of the field
until an incident on hole 12 almost cost him the Championship. Tour
officials had to consult the TV Broadcasters after play to ensure
that Ogilivie had not hit the ball twice in his attempt to advance
the ball.

Winner: Wayne Smith (WA) - Score: 210* (-9) *3 Rds
1st Place Prizemoney: $36,000

three way, three hole playoff from American Kevin Miskimins and
John Kennedy. In a week of "three's" the event was reduced
to three rounds after the first round was cancelled due to unplayable
conditions. A closing two over par 75 would be enough for the sweet
swinging Smith to assure his place in the play-off which he would
eventually win with a par on the third extra hole.
