Jack Doherty finishes joint runner-up

in Celtic Pro Tour Pencoed event

North Gailes-based Jack Doherty finished joint runner-up in this week's Celtic Pro Tour event at St Mary's Golf Club, Pencoed.
Jack had rounds of 68 and 67 for a total of 135 over the par-68 course. He tied for second place with Iwan Griffiths (67-68), one shot behind the £700 first prize winner, Cennyd Mills (Vale-Hotel.com) who shot 66 and 68 for two-under-par 134.
Doherty, fresh from his first win on the EuroPro Tour in Ireland, holed a chip for an eagle at the 17th in the second round to join Mills in the lead at one under par with one hole to play.
At the par-4 18th, Doherty hit the centre of the green with his approach shot but Mills almost holed his second shot which came to rest 2ft from the stick.
Doherty could not hole his birdie putt to match Mills' birdie finish.
Griffiths holed a 12ft putt to finish with three consecutive birdies and grab a share of second place from Doherty.
