MELBOURNE, Australia - Antonio Murdaca of Australia earned a place in the field for next years U.S. Masters after winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Golf Championship by 7 shots Sunday.The 19-year-old Murdaca led by 8 strokes overnight and shot a 71 to finish at 13-under 275, becoming the first Australian to win the Championship.Japans Horikawa Mikumu had a 69 to break out of a tie with Australian Todd Sinnott to take outright second place.I was worried in the practice rounds whether my game would fit the course here, he said. But as I played through the weak I got a bit more adjusted to the course and I was able to figure out a little bit how to challenge the course, Mikumu said.As well as qualifying for the US Masters, Murdaca and Mikumu will play in the final stage of qualifying at St. Andrews for the 2015 British Open.Its a dream come true. I cant wait, Murdaca said. I was standing on that second shot today sort of thinking wow, imagine if I get to the Masters. Imagine how many people there are going to be.Murdacas lead was cut to five shots when he carded 36 on his outward nine, but he came home strongly with birdies on the 10th and 14th holes.Sinnott finished with a 1-under 71 to take third place ahead of 16-year-old Australian amateur champion Ryan Ruffels in fourth. Chinas Dou Zecheng and Guan Tianlang, who won the 2012 tournament aged 14, and Taiwans Pan Cheng-tsung shared fifth at 2-under 286.Murdaca dominated the later stages of the tournament. He trailed Sinnott by two shots after his opening round, led by one shot after the second — as the only player in the 116-strong field to break 70 in both of the first two rounds — then took charge of the tournament with his equal low score of 67 of Saturday.In total, he had 21 birdies and an eagle in his four rounds over the 6,453-metre (7,059-yard) Royal Melbourne Golf Club layout.I had a little bit of a sleepless night I guess, Murdaca said. I woke up nice and early. I didnt want to miss my alarm this morning. That could have been a disaster.Murdaca said he tried not to think about winning on Sunday and try and concentrate on playing as he had throughout the week.I think after I hit that second shot into 18, I got some goose bumps, he said.It is pretty special considering the reward you get at the end. Ive been working hard all year, hunting for a win and I finally got one and I think I found the right event to win.

If theres one thing we can count on heading towards the NHL Draft, its to see teams go after value, and frankly that can be found in the centres and left wingers market. The top 10 of the ranks is dominated by four centres and five left wingers but along with positional dominance, consistency is another trend to follow. The presence of the Kingston Frontenacs is still being felt, as centre Sam Bennett and defenceman Roland McKeown remain in the top 30 of Craig Buttons rankings, even considering the slight dip of McKeown in the ranks. Bennett remains among the elite and his efficacy is displayed in his statistics. His 41 points and plus-11 at center rivals top-rated Sam Reinharts 50 points. Reinhartss only knock would be his plus-4 rating. Not bad, but pales in comparison to his contemporaries at the centre position. The most significant movement in the positive direction would be by Sault Ste.dddddddddddd Marie Greyhounds Jared McCann and Leon Draisaitl of the Prince Albert Raiders. The respective centres have seen their stock increase over the last month by making the most of their time on the ice. McCann is sitting on a plus-11 rating while Draisaitl has a plus-6 rating. Its been a great statistical season for the latter, posting 47 points with 17 goal and 30 helpers. Defencemen have seen some elevation in the ranks, as the play of Swift Current Broncos Julius Honka and the Sarnia Stings Anthony DeAngelo has garnered some attention. The most glaring difference between the two in the stat sheets once again comes down to plus-minus. Honka is supported by a respectable plus-11 rating, however, Deangelos minus-11 stands out. Not to be outdone by the other movers and shakers, USA NTDP defenceman Sonny Milano, along with Sodertalje right winger David Pastrnak, took the largest leap in the ranks, with each moving up eight spots. The aforementioned McKeowns six spot dip is second only to Peterborough Petes left winger Nick Ritchie, who took a nine spot dive. ' ' '
