Langdon and Licata tie at Bristol and Clifton
17/03/2016
Ross Langdon (Brickhampton Court) and Giuseppe Licata (Bristol Golf Centre) shot one-under-par 69 to share the Gloucester and Somerset PGA medal at Bristol and Clifton.
As Licata lies second in the battle for the Total Triumph Order of Merit there was no change in the points table as Langdon remains 30 points ahead with just over a month of the season remaining.
The Failand course had been closed the previous day after an early morning deluge but just 24 hours it had drained remarkably well on a dry day marred by a chilly north wind.
Licata led early after making four birdies and three bogeys. He picked up his strokes at the sixth, 10th, 15th and 18th for his fourth win this winter.
Langdon matched his rival’s birdie haul so they shared the birdie sweep as well. His shots were gained at the second, ninth, 15th and 16th as he won for the fifth time this winter.
Paul Ryder (Henbury) and George Ryall (Players Club) were joint third on level par. Ryder actually carded six birdies but declined to enter the sweep. Solid Ryall made two birdies and dropped two shots.
Ed Goodwin (Cirencester), Andrew March (Brean) and Kevin Pitts (Mendip) were fifth.
