Sullivan struggles then cruises into the Amateur Last 8
British Amateur 2008 - Turnberry Hotel - D3 - the last 32 and last 16. Having bowed out in R3 last year, Andy Sullivan has made it into Friday's quarter finals where he will play Italian Andrea Pavan. He made it through with a convincing 5&3 victory in R3. R2 was another matter, a titanic struggle against Nigel Edwards, a star from last years Walker Cup.
2008 British Amateur - Day 1
Turnberry Hotel and Golf Club - Wednesday 18th June - Sullivan through to R2 to face Edwards. Anyd Sullivan is the only Warwickshire player left in the British Amateur after a 4&3 win over USA golfer Adam Mitchell. Our other qualifier, from a storm tossed D2 of qualifying, was Matt Cryer but Matt had to give a walkover to his French opposition.
Bardsley climbs to 11th
Peter McEvoy Trophy 2008 - Copt Heath Golf Club- Thursday 18th April - with a finishing 36 holes of 75 and 72, Rob Bardsley climbed three places to finish T11th in the 2008 McEvoy. It was a good performance, the best in recent years, by a Warwickshire Junior and could have been even better but for some bad luck.
2008 McEvoy Trophy
Wednesday 16th April 2008 - Copt Heath Golf Club - Our Boys Captain Rob Bardsley has made it through comfortably to the final 36 holes of this year's Peter McEvoy Trophy. Although not at his best, Rob managed his game well enough for a first round 73, then a 36 in the second nine holes, to be seven shots back from the lead held by Scottish Junior Sam Binning.
Snow can't stop Sullivan
The Berkhamstead Trophy - Saturday 5th April. As the opener to the English Amateur Golf season, the Berkhamstead is known for being a trial by weather (more often than not) and this year proved the same bar the fact that Andy Sullivan beat the rain, hail and snow, and a top field of 70 other competitors to take this very prestigious trophy back home to Nuneaton and Purley Chase.
