George Just Loves Broadstone

Published in:

George Ryall loves Broadstone as he won the club's pro-am for the second year in succession, although this time he was involved in a three-way tie.

Welshman Matt Griffiths (Oakdale), on his first visit to the course, and Chris Gill (Exeter) also shot three-under-par 67 to take home £625, a prize fund for the 20-team shotgun start event enhanced by support from Sunseeker.

Ryall, who is hoping to qualify for the European Seniors Tour next year when he reaches 50, shattered the Broadstone course record last year by shooting eight-under-par 62.

This time the Bristol-based professional attached to the Players Club, was out in 32 with birdies at 10, 15 and 17, coming home in 35.

Griffiths made three birdies and did not drop a shot while Gill, who started on the 17th which he birdied, added four further birdies in a mixed round.

Gareth Edwards from Mill Ride was a late replacement to lead the TaylorMade team whom he helped finish first - and win prizes from rivals Callaway.
