FARMFOODS BRITISH PAR-3 CHAMPIONSHIP

 HAMBLETT LEADS BRITISH PAR-3

CHAMPIONSHIP AT THREE-UNDER

FROM THE TOURNAMENT WEBSITE
Jack Hamblett is currently leading the Farmfoods British professional par-3 championship with a score of three-under-par 5 at Nailcote Hall, Warwickshire.
First prize is £25,000.
Hamblett impressed early on with a bogey-free round that also included three birdies.
Eddie Pepperell and Mike Harwood looked to be going in as joint leaders but both dropped a couple of shots on the back nine.
Three previous winners of the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship are still in the hunt for this year’s title: Peter Baker, D J Russell and Mark Mouland, who all carded impressive rounds of -2.
After the celebrity fun yesterday, today's professionals were all battling it out to win their share of the £100,000 prize fund. Some of the top European Tour and European Senior Tour golfers are still competing for the title.
In other news, there was another hole in one from English professional golfer Gary Emerson.
