William
Harrold won a dramatic Dawson and Sanderson Travel Classic, beating
Bradley Dredge in a play-off at Longhirst Hall to win his second
HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour title of the season.
Dredge
began the final round three behind Harrold (Sheringham Golf Club) but
was four ahead of his playing partner by the time they reached the tee
of the par-three 16th. However, the Welshman’s lead had evaporated 200 yards
later.
While
Harrold made birdie two-time European Tour winner Dredge made bogey.
But in the process of carding his four had played off a temporary green
marked GUR (ground under repair), for which he was penalised two
strokes.
The Welshman learnt of his error on the 17th fairway, but undeterred made birdie to reclaim his lead.
On the par-four 18th
he hit his tee shot into the trees, took relief and was on the green in
three. Harrold, who was on the green a shot quicker two-putted for par.
Dredge had some distance to make up with his first putt and
though he came close had to accept a bogey.
That
left the pair tied on three under after Harrold signed for a
final-round 76, four over par, and Dredge a one-over 73. Neil Fenwick
(Dunbar Golf Club) ended just one behind on two under after carding a
final-round 71.
In the play-off Harrold made the 18th
green in two but Dredge found a fairway bunker from the tee. He played
out onto the fairway but his approach bounced off the green. His fourth
shot landed close to the pin, but Harrold had
two putts to win and needed just one as he birdied the play-off hole to
win the £10,000 top prize, a brand new Motocaddy trolley, and a
Shotsaver range finder.
“I
gritted it out today and did the best I could, suddenly a few things
happened and there is a play-off,” said Harrold, whose win sees him move
to the top of the Order of Merit and close in on a Challenge Tour card,
awarded to the top
five earners at the end of the season.
“It
is a battle of the mind sometimes. When you aren’t playing great it is
so easy to think you aren’t good enough. You have to fight those
thoughts and keep taking it a shot at a time.
“The
play-off was the same, one shot at a time. I hit a good drive and a
similar approach as I had five minutes earlier and got a bit closer and
was able to make the putt.
“I
have had a good start but you never know what can happen. I can smile a
bit more now and think about the top five, which was one of the goals
for the season.”
A
two-hour highlights package of the event will be aired on Sky Sports HD
on June 3, with repeats the following day. The next HotelPlanner.com PGA
EuroPro Tour event is the Kerry London Championship at Burhill Golf
Club, commencing Thursday
May 29 and concluding Friday, May 31.
