With a steady high wind and rough showing levels of difficulty unknown for 25 years, it was going to take a special effort to win.
Early starters Sam Smith and David Graham were joint leaders for most of the morning on one-under-par.
They were eventually pipped by “Sir” Neill Knight with an excellent +1 result against par in this bogey competition.
Smith and Graham shared second in this annual event.
