Hinge Trophy Final
Date published: 30 Jan 2023
At last - a day at the coast with no rain! The Royal St. George's GC looked most inviting in the early morning light as the finalists assembled for the climax of the Hinge Trophy.
With the scores from round two at Prince's counting towards the 36-hole aggregate, players teed off in order with the leaders out last. There was some very respectable scoring and the round of the day belonged to Danny Jones (Wildernesse) who shot a fine 69. Alas, he would fall just short of claiming the overall title as Tony Adams (Prince's) - our round two winner - held his nerve to card a one-over-par 71 to win by one stroke. An exciting finish!
The top three was rounded out by Alan Davie (Royal Blackheath) courtesy of solid 71. Nett honours were taken by Jack Crump (Gillingham) on countback from Danial Naqvi (Littlestone), with Tony Coulstock (Shortlands) coming in third.
