Alliance at Wychwood Park - Sponsored by Steve Hamer of Titleist |
|
|
EUROPEAN Tour star Phil Archer was
delighted to be able to make a rare appearance in a Manchester Alliance
event and meet up with many of his old friends at the testing course of
Wychwood Park. And Phil showed his class by posting the top individual pro score of 41 points. But Phil and his amateur partner Anton Johnson from Warrington had to give best in the pro am competition to home pair Frank Kiddie and Trevor Brennand with a fine haul of 45 points with Phil and Anton a point in arrears. |
