Held 23/24th August at Essex University
We had a great weekend, a record turnout of 50 registered players, and this
despite many regular players not attending due to a stag night and also the
European Ultimate Championships. We also had a low turnout from other
european countries.
With the 2nd and 3rd ranked Brits missing the main contenders were Marco
Lehousse from Begium, myself and 1995 PDGA Masters champion Bob Vanderboss.
Bob V and Dan Lovett had flown over from the US specifically to play the
tournament.
Perhaps it was the jet lag but Bob and Dan were not on top form and it
turned into a two horse race. I led after the first round thanks to
an ace on the 16th hole. Marco caught me on the 2nd round and went ahead
by 3 on the third with a course record 48.
On the final 9 Marco dropped some shots with missed putts and unlucky
roll-aways. I got 3 birdies and picked up 5 shots in 5 holes to go 2 up.
With a bogey by me and a birdie by Marco we were tied with 2 to play. On
the last hole Marco hit a tree and had to settle for par, I had a great
drive and a 5 metre put for the Championship which I just missed left.
Marco won the first play-off hole to retain his British Open title. So
with my taking the Belgian Open title from him earlier this year we now
hold each others national titles!
Bob Vanderboss finished 3rd and Dan Lovett took 4th after he and Andrew
Wainstein decided to play off for 4-5th.
The Juniors Division was won by Oran Villiers-Stuart and the Womens
Division by Ruth Lissaman.
Full results will be posted to the newsgroups and put on the BDGA web site
