Carroll’s close encounter |
|
JOHN Carroll fired another “come and get me” message to the England selectors when he won the Crosby Plate for the second year in a row at West Lancs – but he cut it fine. The Huyton and Prescot player bogeyed the final hole to tie on three-over-par aggregate with Clitheroe’s Andy Heesom after both had posted 73 and 74. But Carroll, 24, got the verdict on a card play-off to move into second place in the Mitsushiba Northern Order of Merit, 200 points behind his Lancashire team-mate Sam Stuart, from St Annes Old Links and Chorley. Despite his impressive form, and a plus four handicap, the 2006 county champion who won the Southport and Ainsdale Bowl at the start of the season has still not been considered by his country.
