Sam found himself on shot back from Nugent after the first round, with a 71 to Nugent's 70. But at the start of the second round Sam made up 6 shots, being -2 after four whilst Nugent was +4 after 7. Nugent came back with five birdies in his last 11 so Sam's -1 for that stretch was needed for a 2 stroke win, Sam closing with a 66.

Luke Allen would not have expected to be two shots off the lead after his morning round, playing off a 9 handicap. he was though after carding a 72 where after being +3 on the 8th tee he parred in for that round to be the only person to break par (nett) in the morning.

Luke had a 78 in his second round to increase his winning margin to seven - and to take the 102 year old championship. His brother George was the first to congratulate him.
