2024 Duncan Putter Results - 12th-14th April

15 APRIL 2024 08:45

The 2024 Duncan Putter enjoyed a mixture of weather conditions for our competitors this weekend, with sunshine, wind, mist and showers all thrown in to challenge the players. Each days play saw par being broken, but there was a total of only six rounds under the par of 70 for the whole event, a testament of the conditions but also the quality of the course at SGC.

Three Welshmen took the top spots with Caolan Burford (Rhuddlan) producing some steady rounds on the final 36 holes for a final four round total of 284 (+4) to win by two clear shots. Tom Savill (Glamorganshire) claimed second place two shots back on 286 (+6) and Sean David in third one shot further back on 287 (+7).

There was plenty of home interest with Owen Greenow, Llew Matthews, Harry Watkins and Jaco Van de Merwe all making the cut. Harry Watkins with the best finish, taking a share of 6th place after shooting 69 (-1) in round 3, but slipped up a little on the back 9 to record a 74(+4) in the final round for a total of 290 (+10).
