SYDNEY (Reuters) - Fuelled by a dose of Queensland rum, Rod Pampling sank a 60-foot eagle putt on the 18th green for a course record 10-under-par 61 in the final round of the Australian Open on Sunday.

The 46-year-old is a twice winner on the U.S. PGA Tour but started the final day well out of contention at four-over and opened his round inauspiciously with a bogey at the first.
