Round 1A very windy week is forecast but good play could still see players scoring well. It turned out to be a very good day for the guests, all of whom finished the day in the top 10. Jared Kingsley hit a bogey-free 68 but missed a few birdie chances which he might regret. Bob Fletcher and Ian McKinley posted a brace of 67's which theye were both very pleased about. Les Souter's imperious form continued and his fine 66 saw him positioned just two strokes behind the opening day leader, tour pro Tom Lehman who revisited days of old when he fired a super 64.

Round 2The gale force winds and fast, firm greens suggested a troublesome time out there today, but the majority of players handled the conditions really well. Ian McKinley struggled a little and his 73 saw him drop down the leaderboard. Bob Fletcher (69) and Jared Kingsley (68) are still in contention at halfway, while Les Souter's 68 maintained his second place status but saw him fall further behind the new leader, tour pro Kenny Perry, who had a day to remember after he fired an astonishing 61. Randy Grant could be in the leading bunch but is still out on the course, no doubt hoping to at least match his opening round 67. It's still all to play for...

Round 3The gales were replaced by a gentle breeze for today's play, so lower scores were very possible. After his disappointing second round Ian McKinley launched himself back into the mix by firing an awesome 62, the joint best round of the day. Ian is now tied 5th with Bob Fletcher who recorded his best score of the event, a 66, and these two are now five shots off the pace. Late starter Charlie Roberts had posted a 65 and a 70, so another 65 today came as no surprise and he will be a danger in the final round. Overnight leader Kenny Perry only carded a 68 and finished the day sharing second spot with Jared Kingsley. Jared's putter was on fire, and even a water-ball on #18 couldn't prevent him from registering a sizzling 62. The man on form at the moment, Les Souter, also took full advantage of the abating wind and his glowing 63 edged him into the lead by a single stroke. Looking at the weather forecast for the final round, anything could still happen...

I new as soon as my ball hit the rocks just short on 18 in round 4 that i blew this event, testosterone got the better of me, i should have played it conservatively and made par, but thats golf you win or lose with your decisions, on this occasion i lost, onwards.   . Great course and perfect for the conditions, enjoyed it.  |
