The West Lakes Classic was a golf tournament held in the Adelaide area of South Australia from 1975 to 1982. In 1982 the Commercial Bank of Australia, which has sponsored the event for a number of years, was merged into a new bank called Westpac and the event was called the Westpac Classic in its final year. Prize money was A$20,000 in 1975, A$35,000 in 1976, A$50,000 in 1977, A$60,000 in 1978, A$65,000 in 1979, A$75,000 in 1980, A$80,000 in 1981 and A$100,000 in 1982. It was also the site of Greg Norman's first professional victory, which he still regards as his most important win.[1][2]
