Welshman Ben Briscoe lands $33,566 prize

Russell Knox wins a few dollars
more on Hooters Tour

Inverness exile Russell Knox boosted his year's earnings to $31,896 from seven events when he finished joint eighth in the NGA Hooters Tour's latest competition, the Daisy Golf Classic at Lost Springs Golf & Athletic Club at Rogers in Arizona.
Knox had rounds of 70,70, 73 and 72 for level par 284. He earned $1,424. He has missed two cuts in his seven outings.
Winner of the $33,566 was Ben Briscoe who claims to come from Old Colwyn, Wales. Now is that "our" Wales or somewhere in the United States that has borrowed the name "Wales." If you know the answer, E-mail the info to Colin@Scottishgolfview.com
Briscoe had scores of 65, 65, 68 and 71 for 15 under par 269. He won by a cou;le of shots from Jesse Hutcens (Ohio) who earned $16,375 for scoring 69, 64, 69 and 69 for 271.
Knox was by no means the highest-placed British player. That honour went to former US college circuit player, David Skinns from Lincoln.
David was joint 10th in this latest one with scores of 68, 70, 698 and70 for 277 and a reward of $3,811.

CONFIRMATION THAT BEN BRISCOE IS A WELSHMAN
From Chris Smart, Mid-Glam

Yes, Ben Briscoe is definitely a WELSHMAN.
He used to play in the Welsh boys' championship. I know him- Old Colwyn is on the North Wales coast, a few miles east of Llandudno.
