Royal Manchester results

The conditions at Royal Manchester showed its grit during the afternoon round. Since the round followed the club championship the greens were speedy, the tee placements were tight, and the afternoon winds really set up for a challenging links style of golf.

Jerome Lyons hit some solid iron shots and Kwang Yim used his newly acquired 7-wood to hit some solid drives as both finished at net 72 and a tie for first place. Right on their heels was Dick Markle who shot a net 73 to finish solely in third place. Given that the administrator was hurrying along, there was a miscalculation in the net score of Bob Ingram. Bob finished fifth at net 76, not in a tie for fourth with Michael Jan at net 75.  Therefore Bob owes Michael $5 in prize money

Kwang Yim started the CLEAR parade by birding the first hole with a 2 foot kick in birdie. He also collected a clear on the long par 4 #8 hole by draining a monster 40 foot putt for birdie and his second clear. Rick Princinsky drained a speedy birdie putt on the #2 hole for his CLEAR. Michael Jan had a total of three CLEARs.  First one as he drained a downhill 30 foot birdie putt to capture a clear on the #4 hole then made a tricky birdie putt on the par 3 #15 hole.  Michael’s best CLEAR was a tough shot over the pond on the #18 hole to make a par and garner his third CLEAR. Brian Murphy made a nice par on the downhill #7 hole for a CLEAR and a par on the #13 hole for his second CLEAR. Jerome Lyons made a nice par on the dog-leg left #14 hole to grab his CLEAR

On the CTPs, Rick Princinsky used his hybrid 6 to place his shot about 20 feet from the pin on the #2 hole. Bob Ingram hit a soft 9-iron on the #6 hole to within 10 feet to capture the second CTP. Michael Jan loft a 9-iron on the #11 hole to within 15 feet to capture that CTP.  Jerome Lyons lasered a 7-iron to with 5 feet on the #15 hole to capture the final CTP.
