WOLSTENHOLME STARS AT BRITISH

PAR-3 CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER

 FROM THE TOURNAMENT WEBSITE
European Senior Tour professional Gary Wolstenholme MBE has emerged victorious in the first Celeb-Am tournament at this week's Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship at Nailcote Hall, Warwickshire. 
The six-time Walker Cup veteran hit a nearly flawless round of four under par  to take the victory.
Gary was run close by host of the championship and two-time Major winner Tony Jacklin CBE, who rolled back the years and showed he still has a strong short game. 
Also performing well were Challenge Tour professional Mark Murphy, former Ryder Cup player Peter Baker and ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel MBE.
Inspired by the performance of Wolstenholme, Farmfoods 2 were the winning team on the day with a combined total of -14. 
In second place were another team from the frozen food specialists, Farmfoods 2, who had American golfer Larry Laoretti as their celebrity.
Purpose Media also performed strongly with Alan McInally as their celebrity and Matt Wheatcroft - the man who last year hit the ‘Golf Shot of the Year’ that went viral on YouTube - as their captain.
Tomorrow will see the first day of the Pro-Am Championship as players battle it out for their share of the £100,000 prize fund.
Paul Lawrie is among the contenders
