Alan Mew with Barry Morgan (President, Hampshire Golf)
Stoneham's Alan Mew retained his Hampshire Seniors County Champion title at Royal Winchester yesterday (20/5).
62 year old Mew defeated Royal Jersey's Trevor Gray at the first hole of a sudden death play-off after both players had tied on a five-over-par total of 113 for the 27 hole Championship.
Mew had led after the opening eighteen holes with a three-over-par 75, a round spoilt by a closing double bogey at the 18th.
Royal Jersey's Vic Bourgoise and Gerry Penfold (Sandford Springs) were his closest challengers on 76 with Royal Jersey's Trevor Gray on 77. Bourgoise and Penfold could not maintain their challenge but Gray made-up two shots on his playing partner to force the play-off.
Mew now goes forward to represent Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Channel Islands in the Champion of Champions Tournament at Woodhall Spa in September, where he will again be the defending Champion.
Blackmoor's John Carter won the Pechell Trophy for the best nett score. Other prize-winners included Michael Branfoot and David Speight (both Brokenhurst Manor), Vic Bourgoise, Peter Cunningham (Alderney) and Paul Robson (Royal Winchester).
