The RT Mobile Engineering Single Stableford event was hot right from the start and with the course being so dry, usually the old boys climb up the leaderboard.
There were two points between first and ninth with seven players tied on 36 points. Terry Young and Mick Wilkinson tied on 36 points and held the clubhouse lead after their rounds, but the heat came from the afternoon groups.
After a hiatus due to a hip replacement, Jim Ferguson made an immediate impression when he returned to play 18 holes. Despite a small blow out on the 17th, he was still able to grab the clubhouse lead with an impressive 37 points.
This was until Stephen Todd entered the fray who had quite a few putts and put together another great round with 38 points which earned him a single-shot victory over Ferguson. The Todd brothers also won the ticket, while Tracey Dickinson picked up both pro pins.
