The story of the title

Shanker (Grant) takes the title

Shanker (Grant) claimed the Championship at Stevenage through the ever-exciting countback mechanism, after finishing tied with Con (James) and Dave on 34 Stableford points. The outcome hinged on sorting out the trio post-round, with countback on the last three holes then hole-by-hole separating tres amigos. Gal’s 93 was the lowest gross score (and possibly the noisiest racket). Shanker left with both the title and the right to buy the first celebratory round – and a clear case for carrying a spreadsheet alongside golf balls.
