The weather was stunning and the golf spectacular on another memorable day at L’ancresse.
Jayden Tucknott has been in the best form of his life in the last week with a superb display in the Captain’s Prize followed by a personal best 71 on Saturday in the L’ancresse Stableford. So it was not a question of if he was going to break 70 for the first time but when. He answered in style yesterday with a superb 69 gross which featured four birdies and a front nine of 34 for the second consecutive round. He kept his composure and played beautiful golf on the back nine making a birdie on the 16th to cancel out a solitary bogey on the last. You’d be pushed to find a harder working golfer than Jayden and many congratulations from all of us on achieving this major milestone which was thoroughly deserved.
Runner up was Lewis Marley who shot a fine 73 for 37 points, he too has been in impressive form recently and like Jayden will be looking forward to the Island Junior Championships.
In the red tee Longue Rue Cup, Gus Carre was in superb form scoring 41 points. He has been working very hard on his game and getting out to play at every opportunity. Gus made five pars and had a particularly impressive back nine coming back in 44 finishing in style with a 3 on the 18th.
Runner up with 34 points was Anton Swale. He made two pars and just edged out Lewis O’Brien on countback. With Island Player Tom Pattimore on the bag, Lewis got off to an excellent start with a par at the first and made two other pars along the way.
In the blue tee competition the scoring was phenomenal. Lewis Brehaut was the winner with 23 points and Elliot Brehaut was second with 20 points. Mary Anne Waterton had a debut to be proud of scoring 19 points to take third place on count back.
Next up we are back at La Grande Mare on Sunday the 17th July for the next stop on the Ray Lowe Sporting Foundation order of merit. Entry is open now.
