CAVEN
TROPHY - Sunday 2nd May 2010 Elderslie (Junior
County Strokeplay Championship) |
|
| Josh Bogle of Ranfurly
Castle takes the Title | |
Elderslie Golf Club was the venue for the Caven Trophy
sponsored by Abbeycare Foundation . This annual event is the Junior Stroke Play
Championships played over 36 holes. In
the Caven Trophy - boys under 18 - Darren Jones from the home course set the morning
pace with an excellent 71 and had a three shot cushion over his nearest rival
at that point - Riccardo Dimurro from Greenock. The afternoon round changed everything
quite dramatically. First, David Docherty from Bonnyton recorded 72 for an aggregate
of 150 followed by Ranfurly Castle's Greg Paterson whose 74 also made a total
of 150. Darren Jones slumped to 79 - also for the same total. What looked like
a count back for the places was avoided when Josh Bogle, also from Ranfurly Castle,
added the best score of the day - an almost flawless 70 - for a total of 146 and
his first trophy of the season. County selectors were out on the course and there
is little doubt that Josh and the other challengers will be hearing from them. The
first points in the under 14 Order of Merit were gained by Paul Dorrian of Greenock
and Cochrane Castles' Colin Edgar. |
