Six players share the lead at Braintree

A perfect day for scoring saw six players tie for first place at the Braintree Pro/Low Am and there was also just one shot between the first nine places.

James Scade (Little Channels) and Gary Carter (Five Lakes) both birdied the 18th to earn a share of the spoils, while Scott Hudson (The Warren) went one better by picking up an eagle at the final hole to also finish top.

Jack Winer (Abridge), Andy Pestell (Chelmsford) and Steve Cipa (South Essex) also shared the first-place prize money.

Sharing seventh place and a solitary point in the Porsche Order of Merit were Jason Levermore and Craig Housden both from Little Channels and Mark Talbott from Thorpe Hall.

The most commendable performance amongst the joint winners was Scott Hudson who was 4 over par after his first 6 holes and played the final 12 holes in 7 under par.
