PARRY WINS LATE PLAY-OFF FOR
WELSH OPEN AMATEUR
STROKE-PLAY TITLE
Yorkshireman John Parry added the Welsh men’s open amateur stroke-play championship to the Spanish open amateur title he won earlier this year when he beat Paul Waring (Bromborough) at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off this evening at Machynys Peninsula Golf & Country Club.
Parry from Harrogate and Waring tied on 11-under-par 277 in the more difficult Sunday weather conditions. Parry scored 67, 70, 70 and 70 while Waring had 68, 67, 72 and 70.
They finished seven shots cleared of the third-placed Welsh Walker Cup veteran Nigel Edwards (Whitchurch) who scored 69, 70, 72 and 73 for 284.
Halfway leader Neil Chaudhuri (The Leicestershire) with scores of 69 and 66 had to settle for rounds of 76 and 75 on Sunday and a fourth place finish on 286.
Bryan Fotheringham (Forres), chasing a recall to the Scotland home international line-up, finished 28th on 302 with scores of 69, 73, 82 and 78. He was the only Scot to survive the halfway cut.
Several players, principally Walker Cup man Gary Wolstenholme MBE (Kilworth Springs), did not go out for the fourth and final round because the weather was so wet and bad. Wolstenholme had been been on 217 with scores of 68, 70 and 79.

"Conditions were awful but the course was playable, so that is why most of us played on," said Bryan Fotheringham.
