Haworth Castings PGA Strokeplay
Championship (Wednesday 27/08/08)
This was a 36 hole championship played at South Winchester Golf Club. This course is the longest in hampshire measuring at 7,086 and has a par of 72.
Overcast but very still weather.
The longest course I have played. Had a very good first round that consisted of three birdies and no bogeys. Having no dropped shots in a round was a first for me and I was very pleased to have done so. With a score of 69 at the half way stage I was two shots off the lead.
Unfortunately my run of no bogeys was to end at the second hole of my final round. I ended up shooting a 75, three over par. This left me at level par for the tournament and was enough to become joint champion of the under 30 championship that was played in conjunction with the main event which I also did well in finishing in a tie for fifth place. This was my first professional win
