Perfect conditions greeted the Competitors in the Candy Cup at La Grande Mare yesterday. Lewis Marley took advantage with another win, his fifth of the season with an excellent round of 41 points just edging out James Troop on countback. Lewis’s round comprised of 12 pars and featured a blistering level par back nine of 32 with a birdie at the 13th. James had another excellent day and his round of 73 gross included birdies at the 7th and 12th. Chloe Gaudion was third with another superb display with 39 points. Lewis heads the Leaderboard in the 28 & under handicap category in the Ray Lowe Order of Merit with the last competition in November.
In the Red Tee Category it was another shoot out between Thomas Chamberlain and Alex Mills. Thomas eventually ran out the winner with 39 points for his 5th win of the season and his lead now looks to be virtually unassailable in the Ray Lowe Order of Merit. Alex scored 36 points and third was Joel Hoolahan with another excellent performance.
In the blue tee category it was another win for Anton Swale with a level par 18 points with Theo Hollyer-Hill in second and Lewis O’Brien in third. Theo heads the Order of Merit by two from Lewis in what looks to be an exciting showdown next month with two of our youngest talents.
