Kovarik & Buchar Win Aussie National Round - Illinbah

courtesy of Farkin.net

With heavy rain the night before, the Illinbah national came down to taming the beast that was the tree section; a crazy combination of off camber roots in the worst places imaginable, rocks of doom and more mud than you can throw at your neighbors cat. In the end Kovarik re-stamped his authority on the Gold Coast course with Josh Button a credible 5 seconds behind.
