Make it a double!!
So after my runner-up spot at Crews Hill on The Thomson Tour, I was invited to take part at the end of Winter season Tour Championships
This was to be a 36 hole one day shootout held at the Bedford Golf Club on the 24th April
Round 1 of the Tours Championship 2018
A nice early tee off of 7:40 am and I was underway. I had a great start with birdies on the first two holes, moving to -2 under par. The front nine ended with me still at -2 after a mix of pars, one bogey, and another birdie. The back nine consisted of 8 pars and one birdie, finishing the round at -3 under par with a score of 68.
After lunch, preparing for the afternoon round, I found out I was just two shots behind former European Tour player Simon Lilly.
Round 2 of the Tours Championship 2018
I started strong again with birdies on the first two holes and continued my form with additional birdies on the 6th, 8th, and the 10th. This brought me to -5 for the round and -8 for the tournament. As the wind and rain hit during the last 5 holes, the game got tougher, but I managed to finish with a -2 under par 69.
With back-to-back under-par rounds of 68 and 69, my total was -5 for the tournament. In the clubhouse, I waited to see Simon's results, only to find he had set a new course record of 64, finishing at -11 under par, showing his European Tour quality.
So for the second week in a row, I finished as runner-up. I'm now looking forward to the main season and the start of The EuroPro and Jamega Tours.
As always, I hope you enjoy your golf and thank you for your support,
Matt
