With four sub-par rounds, including a brilliant seven-under-par second round 65, the 41-year-old finished tied for third with Robin Sciot-Siegrist of France and NSW’s Travis Smyth with a 14-under-par total of 274.
Fraser was in outright second position for much of the final round, in the tricky windy conditions. But New Zealander Ryan Fox stormed home with a 64 to end up on -17 and two strokes from the winner, 21-year-old West Australian Min Woo Lee on -19.
Big crowds followed both the men’s and women’s Vic Opens at the 36-hole 13th Beach courses. Fraser’s four rounds were 70, 65, 69 and 70 on the Par 72 course.
