Having just won the Aon Trophy with 47 points Daniel Laughlin audaciously added the Syd Ashworth Cup to his collection. Laughlin (20) began with a birdie and ignoring an N/R on the Road Hole, and another on the 14th, he completed the course in just six over par. His two nett eagles, nine nett birdies and five nett pars mounted up to 45 points. Consequently Laughlin’s handicap has tumbled from (24) to (16) in two wonderful weeks.

Playing ‘target golf’ Hopkins fashioned four gross pars which helped him net seven birdies and ten pars. Only the 6th, on which he scored a nett bogey, caused him to card less than two points.
