Dinsdale masters Bowood

Former PGA Cup player Richard Dinsdale achieved his third success of the season with a blemish-free five-under-par 67 at the Bowood 25^th Anniversary pro-am in Wiltshire.

The former Newport Golf club and Parc Golf Club professional, who now represents Asbri Golf, was out in 33 with birdies at the third, fifth and sixth. He returned in 34 with gains at the 12^th and 18^th to bank £840.

He shared his previous wins in the Taunton and Pickeridge 125^th AnnIversary pro-am and at the Gwalia Housing Trust event at Langland Bay.

Lee Thompson (Dudsbury) invariably features near the top and claimed another runners-up spot one shot behind. He dropped his only shot at the second but made birdies at the third, fourth, ninth, 12^th and 17^th.

New Welsh champion Sion Bebb was joint third with Scott Drummond on 70. His round was marred by a double bogey sixth on the 10^th. Drummond, who was five under the card after 12 holes, was heading for a share of second until his double bogey at the last.

Former Bowood pro and PGA Cup player Nick Brennan, now working at the Tony Valentine Golf Centre, made the only other sub-par return of 71 to take fifth ahead of Matt Law (Chippenham), Michael Watson (Wessex Golf Centre), Stuart Little (Minchinhampton) , Paul Jones (Ashley Wood) and Dan Carter (Upavon).
