McIlroy’s magic flows over Weir

Recently back from watching his countryman make history at Augusta, PGS skipper Jamie Weir channeled his inner McIlroy to take the honours at Burnham Beeches.

Jamie’s 37 points landed the News of the World Trophy and a decent amount of wine.

It was agreed that the Burnham Beeches course, apart from the rain-compressed bunkers, was presented in an excellent condition and is a new and worthy addition to the PGS rota.

Topping Division 1 (0-12 handicap) was Pete Clifton with 36 points, clear of Paul Kelso in second and Andy Glen in third, both with 33 points.

In Division 2, behind Jamie, were Colin Hancock in second and Neil Darbyshire in third, both with 34 points.

The afternoon greensomes finally finished in all but darkness. The worthy winners of the Sir Leicester Harmsworth trophy were Dylan Dronfield and Nev Appleton with 36 points.

Evan Samuel and Burnham Beeches member Jono Baker came second with 35, followed home by Rick Evans and Pete Clifton, who was in the wine for the second time that day.
