Bardsley breaks Edgbaston course record

Robert Bardsley broke the course record at Edgbaston Golf Club en route to winning the PGA in Warwickshire Strokeplay Championship.

The Moor Hall PGA pro carded a six-under-par 63 to break the existing target by a stroke held previously by former Ryder Cup player Peter Butler and Adrian Carey.

Bardsley carded rounds of 73 and 63 in the 36-hole event to beat Wishaw’s Chris Evans by a shot who posted scores of 69 and 68.

John-Paul Banbury, also from Moor Hall, was third at level par with Fred Jewsbury and Adam Gray, both from Stratford, sharing fourth spot.
