Stuart Appleby Murray River Junior Masters

 

Records go at Junior Golf Tournament

 

Last Sunday’s final 18 holes at Tocumwal was a fitting climax to an outstanding Stuart Appleby Murray River Junior Masters.

 A tournament record field of 126 players teed it up over four days with two rounds each at Cobram Barooga and at Tocumwal.

Sunny warm weather prevailed for the first three rounds but Sunday saw the arrival of cooler temperatures and persistent rain.

The Boy’s event was set for a tight finish with Lucas Herbert from Commonwealth on 215 holding a 2 shot advantage from cross city rival James Bannan.

The Rosanna golfer in turn held a 1 shot buffer from The Heritage Golf Club’s D. J. loypur.

With all three in the final group it was an absorbing contest.

Herbert and Bannan finished tied at the end of the regulation 72 holes.

In the ensuing play-off the nuggetty Bannan was able to close out the match.

After a four under par round on Saturday Kingswood’s Bianca Ling started the final 18 holes with a seemingly unassailable ten shot lead over Reanna Matthews the defending champion from Commonwealth.

A solid no fuss 75 gave the smooth swinging Ling a final score of 292 which equalled Matthews’ tournament record and a comfortable victory.

Ethan Keane won the Boy’s handicap event.

The twelve year old from Woolooware Golf Club in Sydney’s southern suburbs playing off a handicap of 23 carded a record nett score of 260.

Yarra Yarra’s fourteen year old Cheerie Tan off a handicap 29 took out the Girl’s handicap section with a stunning nett score of 253.

Ryan Kowal from Churchill Park entered his name in the record books with a nett 59 during the second round.

The young 24 handicapper joined an exclusive club by reaching golf’s “Holy Grail” – breaking 60.
