Streeter celebrates match play success

Paul Streeter overcame Sam Dawson by one hole in a gruelling final day at the Lincolnshire Match Play Championship.

The Lincoln Golf Centre man was in fine form during the two-day event at Boston Golf Club, but he was pushed all the way by an impressive Dawson, who was playing over his home course.

Streeter’s victory came after a day in which both finalists had been tested to their limits.

A titanic battle in his opponents semi-final threatened to steal the show, as Dawson was matched blow-for-blow by Glenmuir PGA Professional Dan Greenwood (Forest Pines).

The Boston pro eventually came out on top at the 25^th hole.

Meanwhile Streeter’s tussle with Paul Bradshaw (Gainsborough) was similarly close, with just one hole separating the pair at the end of their round.

Both men refused to relent with a place in the showpiece almost secure, but a seven-under-par round was just enough to give Streeter a one-hole win.
