OLDCORN'S 67 IS LOWEST  OF WEEK 

-AND HE NEARLY DIDN'T GO OUT

Andrew Oldcorn, pictured below, shot the lowest round of the tournament, a four-under-par 67, in the final session of play. The Edinburgh man, a former PGA championship winner at Wentworth, finished on 220.
He had five birdies and one bogey in his final round after playing so badly - his words - over a spell in his morning round of 79 that he was inclined not to go out again in the afternoon.
He took 44 blows to the turn in his second round - "only pride kept me going. I didn't want to shoot a very high number for the round.

"But playing 36 holes in a day is quite a lot for me nowadays," said Senior Tour campaigner Oldcorn, "but I'm so glad I did now. Having the lowest round of the tournament is something to be proud of, especially as it is more than 20 years since I played in a Northern Open." 
Home course scratch amateur Anthony Bews won the Bookless Cup as the leading amateur. He finished with a 74 for 223, winning comfortably from the only other amateurs who beat the cut - clubmate Corin Stewart (81 for 229) and Ross Noon (Craigielaw), who had an 82 for 230.
"Nice to win the Bookless Cup. I supposed it was down to local knowledge. I used to have a +3 handicap but I am now working in the oil business and have a wife and children to look after," said Anthony who is 28.
