CLARK WINS AGAIN AND JACK DOHERTY PICKS
UP £2,500 CHEQUE FOR THIRD PLACE

Englishman Graeme Clark has become the first golfer to win two PGA EuroPro Tour events this season. Clark ended on 12-under-PAR 204 to triumph by four shots at The Players Club in Bristol for his second victory of the campaign, after also finishing first at Faithlegg, Waterford in May.
Five shots clear of the field goin ginto the final day, Graeme held his nerve with a third round of 70 to claim the £10,000 top prize.
This victory moves him back to the top of the Order of Merit standings and he has now won more than £24,000 this year.
His impressive form means Clark is now almost certain to be competing in the Tour Championship in October. The top five golfers in the PGA EuroPro Tour Order of Merit standings after the Tour championship will move up to the Challenge Tour and be a step closer to playing on the main European Tour.
Elsewhere, Mark Smith (Erewash Valley) has jumped up to tenth in the Order of Merit after finishing second. .
Scotland’s Jack Doherty finished third to collect £2,500, while Welshman Alex Smith, England’s Martin Le Mesurier and Ireland’s Brendan McCarroll came tied fourth.
The next event in the PGA EuroPro Tour season is the Towergate Insurance Championship at Maylands Golf and Country Club in Harold Park, near Romford, Essex.
This will be held from Wednesday, August 1 to Friday, August 3.
