The Final burst into life with a eagle 3 from Primrose at the 15th, and after a Corben drive at
16 found the rhododendrons there was only 1 in it with 2 to play. Corben holed a 7ft putt for
an important half at 17 and then another 6ft putt on the last green to win the Championship
after Primrose narrowly missed his birdie putt.
Many congratulations to both Finalists on a great spectacle.

John Cassidy’s score of 72.
The Mid Age Team trophy was won by Royal Wimbledon GC.

On a lovely day for golf at the beautiful West Byfleet Golf Club, Surreys more mature players
