Ryan Curtis is off to Bovey Castle as he wins the Lombard Qualifier by one shot
News of the World Cup (H'cap 0-14) - First place - Ryan Curtis nett 68, second place - Harry Macauley (68) and in third place - John Goaman (69).
Ford Trophy (H'cap 15-28) - First place - Anth Ward (nett 69), second place - Chris Hutt, Captain (74) and in third place - Adrian Thorne (77).
Well done to all the winners and congratulations to Ryan Curtis for winning the honour to partner myself in the Lombard Regional Finals at Bovey Castle. Ryan said "I nearly didn't enter the qualifier as I didn't think I had a chance to win. This is the highlight of my golfing career to date and although I am a little nervous the thought of partnering such a well respected professional as Nick is very very exciting".
