Libby’s Ryggs Johnston stormed on to the international golf scene this weekend as he won his second DP World Tour start, capturing the Australian Open in impressive fashion.

The 24-year-old carded a closing 68 at Kingston Heath to finish 18 under par while taking home the Stonehaven Cup.

That secured a three-shot victory over home favorite Curtis Luck and completed a remarkable rise for the Montana native, who came through Qualifying School and finished tied 42nd on his DP World Tour debut last week.
