Four-way tie for South Herts spoils

Chris Cutchie (Colchester) made an eagle at his final hole to become one of four players tied for first place in the South Herts Pro-Am.

Cutchie may have felt his chances of success were slim after bogies at his 13th and 14th holes left him off the pace.

But he closed out his round in style with an eagle at the par–5 ninth hole to finish at three-under-par.

That was good enough for a share of the spoils alongside Jason Levermore (Little Channels Golf Centre), James Scade (Little Channels Golf Centre) and James Webber (Rayleigh) who also all shot 69.

Levermore, who also started at the tenth, suffered a different fate on his final hole. He dropped a stroke at the ninth to slip back from four-under.

In the team event Cutchie led the winning quartet who finished no less than eight strokes clear on an impressive 25-under tally of 119.
