A lively Par 3 Hole 6 with two bunkers and a water hazard, proved a great success for Samuel Whitaker,  Blankney Golf Club, who shot a hole in one, finishing -2, 70.
Whitaker said: “I played well today, I was a bit disappointed when I found the water on 3 but didn’t let that affect my round. We couldn’t see the hole from the tee, but on the line, I hit it on, I knew there was a chance of a hole in 1. I’ve only ever had 2 before today and as for another one tomorrow, we will have to wait and see.”

TOMORROW

Tomorrow (Wednesday), is a key day with golfers taking on either the red or blue course, depending on which they didn’t play today. After that, qualifying will be cut to the leading 80 ahead of play concluding on the blue course this Friday. 
All those who have progressed to Final Stage have already earned at least a category 14, with golfers making the cut at the Final Stage cut earning a minimum category 10 and the top 30 earning a category 3.
