The fields might be getting a little smaller as we reach the end of the season but the quality of golf remains high.
In the white tee Reuben Mahy Trophy Jayden Tucknott was the winner with an excellent round of 79 gross for 36 points. He was out in 42 and back in 37 making ten pars and a birdie at the 10th. Jayden has had a very good year in the Ray Lowe Sporting Foundation Order of Merit but surprisingly it was his first win of the season. He remains very much in contention for the title with all to play for. Runner up was Conor Mckenna, he was out and back in 38 and had eight pars and birdies at the 6th and 14th.
The Cincinatti Cup was fiercely contested and half the field were under par. It ended up being a debut to remember off the red tees for Noah Millar. He put together a great round scoring 44 points which included 5 pars. Runner up was Thomas Chamberlain with 40 points beating Alex Mills on countback. Thomas made 8 pars in his 87 gross and Alex made birdies at the 4th and 8th. There are just two points between order of merit leader Josh Neville and Alex so it’s all to play for in the final few events.
In the blue tee competition Rory Clarke was the sole competitor after a late withdrawal. Paired with the more experienced Thomas and Alex, he rose to the occasion hitting a bomb off the first tee that very nearly ended up on the green. His 23 points featured brilliant birdies at the 1st and 4th, a superb round.
Next up we are back at L’ancresse on Sunday for the rescheduled Sheldon Trophy & Griffin Cup. Entry is open till Wednesday.
