REPORT FROM THE P AND J
Barrie
Edmond retained the Aberdeen Links championship title in a thrilling
final against Matty Greig last night. The two Bon-Accord players served
up a classic encounter, with Greig mounting an extraordinary comeback to
force the match into a sudden-death play-off, despite having been five
down at the turn.
However,
it was Edmond who held his nerve on the 19th hole with a par enough to
win him the championship for the third time in four years after Greig
found a bunker with his teeshot and could only muster a bogey 5.
The
pair had also met in last year's final with Edmond winning 3 and 2 on
that occasion. Edmond stormed into an early lead winning the first,
fourth, sixth, sevenths and ninth, going out in five under par. But
Greig refused to accept defeat. He won four out of five holes to reduce
Edmond's advantage to a single hole. Greig eventually squared the match
by winning the 18th with a par but Edmond came out on top by claiming
the first extra hole.
