Hi5 Pro Tour in Spain
England 1-2 with Lloyd Saltman joint third
The Spanish Hi5 Pro Tour's Valle del Este Open this week provided an England 1-2 with Lloyd Saltman tieing for third place with Spain's Miguel Angel Martin.
Alex Bett shot rounds of 67, 66 and 70 over the par-71 course for a 10-under-par total of 203.
He won 2,000 Euros and a Thomas Sabo watch by finishing five shots ahead of another Englishman, Matthew Cryer, who scored 67, 68 and 73.
Former Walker Cup player and Open leading amateur, Saltman, who finished with a four-under-par total of 209, will be cursing his second-round 77 which was the not so tasty "meat" in the sandwich of a first round of seven-under 64 and a third and last round of three-under-par 68.
Even a par-matching round of 71 on the second day would have seen him tie with winner Bett on 203.
Elliot Saltman shared fifth place on three-under-par 210 with scores of 70, 71 and 69.
Zack, the youngest of the three Saltman brothers finished on 27-over-par 240 with scores of 87, 75 and 78. That put him in a tie for 33rd place.
The ladies' pro event was won by Rhian Wyn Thomas, who, as a Vale of Glamorgan player, was a member of the Wales team who made a successful defence of the Women's Home Internationals crown at Irvine Golf Club, Ayrshire last September.
Rhian is now a rookie pro and she had three impressive scores of 73, 71 and 74 for a five-over-par total of 218, winning by eight shots from Norway's Caroline Martens (75-80-71) with Switzerland's Sabina Imboden last of three on 253 with scores of 84, 84 and 85.
