Montgomery claims top prize at Raceview

As has happened quite a few time times this season, William had to depend not only on a better second nine but the competition committee had to go to te last six holes to get a result.

Montgomery had equal nines of 20 points and his last six holes produced 14 points - including a four-pointer - against 12 from runner-up John McFadden, who will regreat failing to score on the final hole when even a point would have given him overall victory.

Third nett prize webt to George Horner (13) who posted the best of the 39 point returns with the second nine again proving decisive.

George managed 20 points from those nine holes to push Craig McMaster into fourth place after the 12-handicapper could only muster 19 points, despite recording birdies at each of the last two holes.

Fifth and sixth prizes were also decided by the last six holes with Martin Agnew (19) shading the verdict from Leslie Frew.

The best gross prize saw Steven Smyth (3) return to the rostrum after a lengthy absence as he scored 34 shots on each nine for a level par round of 68 shots.

WEDNESDAY OPEN

The winner of the Wednesday open stableford was Eugene M Reid (19) who scored 38 points, despite only scoring a single point over the last two holes.

That was still enough to pip Dylan Cole, who finished on 37 points after an impressive second nine which yielded 22 points.
