NEWS RELEASE
Billy Hemstock won the Clipper Logistics
Championship at Moor Allerton Golf Club on Friday, beating Daniel Gavins
in a play-off to win the
888poker.com PGA EuroPro Tour event.
The pair finished tied on 12 under par after 54
holes but it was agony for Gavins (De Vere Oulton Hall) who shot a
course-record equalling 64 (-7) on the final day, only to lose by
play-off for the second event running.
However, the Yorkshire man has guaranteed himself a
2014 Challenge Tour card, with a victory at Dale Hill coupled with his
two second-placed finishes ensuring Gavins a place in the
888poker.com PGA EuroPro Tour Order of Merit top five.
When the pair finished tied for the lead on -12, they replayed the 18th
as a sudden-death play-off. However, Gavins’ tee shot strayed into the
trees lining the right-hand side of the green and though he recovered
for par, Hemstock
(Teignmouth GC) got to the green in two and made four on the par-five
closing hole to win the £10,000 winner’s cheque and a brand new
Motocaddy trolley.
Hemstock shot an unblemished 66 in the final round
but has been struggling for form in recent weeks. He failed to make it
beyond the first stage of European Tour Q School and had missed the cut
at his previous two EuroPro Tour events.
“It has been a tough few weeks,” he admitted. “I
have been struggling with my form but I came here with no expectations
and it has been a fantastic week.
“I played a lot, 13 out of 15 weeks, and travelling
all over the place. I got a little bit stale towards the end and that
makes you take a look at what you’re doing and reset the dial a little
for the end of the season and I did that well.
“I felt I was doing a lot of things well, but I
just wasn’t getting the results. I stayed patient and you have to check
through what you’re doing and make sure it is the right things. Backing
myself in those situations really helped this
week.”
Marcus Armitage (Howley Hall GC) and 36-hole leader
Ryan O’Neill (Penwortham Golf Club) tied for third with scores of nine
under, with Ruaidhri McGee (Rosapenna), Greg Payne (Chobham Golf Club)
and Order of Merit leader George Woolgar (Capitalservices)
sharing fifth on seven under par.
Only the top 60 on the current Order of Merit have been invited to play the
888poker.com Tour Championships at Prince’s next month. Janne Kaske, who finishes the season 61st, misses out by just £57.25.
Highlights of the Clipper Logistics Championship
will be broadcast at 8pm on Sky Sports 3 on Tuesday, October 8, repeated
four times on Wednesday, October 9.
