There were a couple of setbacks on the homeward stretch, including bogies at the 12th and 14th. But Forgan (pictured) responded with a fine birdie at the 16th, fizzing a pitch from 80 yards to 10 feet before draining the putt.
That restored his one-stroke advantage at the summit after he’d been briefly joined by Neil Mitchell (Thetford) and Glen Portelli (Old Fold Manor).
Playing in the final group, Forgan went on to preserve his slender lead but not without a late scare. He pushed his closing tee-shot into wispy grass and was grateful when it was located by somebody walking with the last trio.
Forgan took no chances from there as he coolly plotted his way to 15 feet from where he safely two-putted to secure the win. A second-round 72 left him on a 141 total of three-under-par, good enough for his third triumph in order of merit tournaments.
