On Saturday we had one of our major competitions, the Harry Pierpont Memorial Trophy, a major which we allow gents, ladies and juniors all to play in. It was a glorious day for golf, for the most part anyway. But a little rain in the afternoon didn't dampen the spirits with some decent scores coming in. 

Adam Cockerill recorded the best Gross of the day of 71, making a nett score of 70. A great round from Adam which positioned him in 3rd place. Anthony Greensmith also scored a nett 70, but beat Adam on a card play-off to initially put him in 2nd place. The best scorer on the day was Matthew Delaney (69), however, unfortunately Matthew was ineligible to win the competition and therefore first prize was handed over to Anthony. Anthony is pictured here with Jo Harrison, who did very well by beating all the other ladies to record the best ladies score of the day. 

Well done to all our winners from Saturday's competition!!

Players Championship 

Rickie Fowler snatched the Players Championship title last year after an enthralling final day packed with high drama at TPC Sawgrass. The American, the subject of a controversial article in a leading American magazine that described him as the joint-most overrated player on the PGA Tour, birdied the first hole of a sudden-death play-off after 75 holes had not been enough to decide the outcome. Fowler produced a record-breaking finish to earn a share of the lead with long time final-round leader Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner on 12 under par, and the Spaniard was eliminated after a three-hole play-off covering 16, 17 and 18. The two Americans then headed back to the 17th tee with darkness closing in, and after Kisner wedged to around 12 feet, Fowler hit a beauty to within four feet of the flag. Kisner's birdie putt was short of pace and missed on the low side, and Fowler held his nerve to rattle in the winning putt and claim his second PGA Tour title - his first since getting the better of Rory McIlroy in a play-off at Quail Hollow in 2012.
