This victory was only possible by a slightly better back nine holes than Tam and Kevin, as it ended up in a three way countback.
Tam and Kevin were edged out but both had equally impressive rounds at 66 nett also. For Kevin this was two over par off the stick, whilst for Tam, someone has blinked and his handicap has crept out enough so that he can be a force with a round that he once expected to shoot each week. Maybe some corrections will have occurred on GolfLink to help all three down to a fairer subtractor.
Balls were claimed by the trifecta you could not get a wager on. Kevin had 66 nett, Tam had 66 nett and Ron Page had 67 nett also on a countback. It was a tough day to claim anything as 81 per cent of the field played better than their handicap.
