Round 1 - With Copperhead, what you see is what you get - a well-laid out course with very few frills, and a straightforward, fair challenge. However, you still have to plan your shots to score well and, in the main, the three guests who have played so far did just that. With relatively good conditions, albeit a little windy, Ian McKinley (68) and Hans Kunok (67) both began the week as they had hoped, near the top of the leaderboard. At the end of the day though, it would be Bob Fletcher who would be the happiest after a fine 66 saw him leading the field - but there's still plenty of time for things to go awry...

ROUND 4 - Rain and wind greeted the players as they arrived for the climax to this event. The course will play longer and the greens will be slower and a little more receptive, so a good score was not out of the question. Newcomer Rich Urban has a steep learning curve in front of him but the early signs are that he will be up to the job. Round 3 was the killer round for him, as it was for mostly everyone, and as soon as he completed his round of 77 he was seen heading straight for the practice ground. Ian McKinley signed off with a 73 to complete one of his worst preformances of the season, while Hans Kunok's level par 71 left him over par for the tourney. Randy Grant finished in style with a sparkling 66, his best round of the week, which lifted him up to a tie for 25th, while a shot ahead was Charlie Roberts in a share of 17th after a solid enough 68. The season's leading money-winner, Mark Lipping, notched up another top 10 when his closing 67 elevated him into a tie for 7th spot. Bob Fletcher started the day with a very real chance of grabbing his second win of the year, but his game just wasn't there and he could only register a 69, which was still enough to claim a respectable share of 3rd place. The winner was tour pro Bill Garrett who fought off Bob Murphy's late charge to prevail by one shot. So we now head off to the Bahamas for the final tournament of the season and cocktails on the beach - lovely...
