Adam’s breakthrough win at Lynn

Adam Pike (Brampton Park) notched his maiden win on the PGA in England (East) schedule in the King’s Lynn Pro-Am.

Pike, 28, could even afford a bogey at the last as he won by a shot from Tom Clements (Eaton).

Pike, who has just completed his first year as a PGA assistant, had shown his promise when tied-third in an Order of Merit event at Essendon last month.

And he provided further proof of his talent in North Norfolk with a fine three-under-par 69.

Pike birdied both of the par-fives, either side of the turn. He completed his mastery of the long holes at King’s Lynn with another gain at the 13th. There was one to be one more birdie at the short 16th before his solitary blip at the last.

Clements deserves plenty of credit for his late charge. He picked up a stroke at each of the final three holes to claim second place on his own.

Paul Streeter (Lincoln Golf Centre) and Chris Cutchie (Colchester) shared third after they both signed for one-under 71s.
