After a first round 69, he didn't start his second round well, a lost ball on the 3rd, led to a triple bogey to leave him 4 over par after 3 holes. Mental strength showed though, as 6 birdies followed, including 3 in the last 4 holes, to claim a one shot victory from Callum Tibbs. The best second round belonged to Callum, with a 68 to go with his opening 71. John Ingham was 2 shots back with 141 in Third place. Callum and John were also winners of the team event for Chart Hills golf club. Oliver Lewis-Perkins was the winner of the Under 16's Packman Trophy and the Richard Young Cup for the best Nett score of the day with 135.
