WOLSTENHOLME BEATS CRYER
AT 38TH IN NEW SOUTH WALES

Walker Cup veteran Gary Wolstenholme (Kilworth Springs) is through to the last four of the New South Wales amateur golf championship after being England team-mate Matthew Cryer (Coventry) at the 38th hole in the quarter-finals.
All the ties are over 36 holes in this tournament and each of the ties in the round of the last eight went all the way to the 18th second time round - and some went beyond.
No 5 seed Wolstenholme, one up playing the 36th, missed from 3 1/2ft after Cryer, the 20th seed. had holed from 35ft. After the 37th was halved in pars, Wolstenholme holed from 5ft for victory at the second extra hole.
In the semi-finals Wolstenholme will meet the 16th seed, Australian Scott Arnold.
In the other tie, Australian champion Tim Stewart, the No 3 seed, will play compatriot Danny Ahn, the 26th seed, who ousted the No 2 seed, Rohan Blizard at the 38th.
