Steady Cipa wins at Braintree

Steve Cipa’s steady level-par round of 70 was enough to secure the professional prize at the Braintree pro-am.

The South Essex Golf Centre man finished one shot clear of Clacton assistant Sam Teer, who picked up the runners up cheque and some valuable Order of Merit points.

Mark Stokes, James Webber, Rhys Piper and Mark Talbott tied for joint third on 72.

In the team competition, Marc Dodd’s team from Totally Golf scored an impressive 83 points to win by three points from Braintree PGA Professional Steve Hambling.
