Gary grabs Celeb Am spoils at Par 3 Championship

Gary Wolstenholme has emerged victorious from the first day of Celeb Am competition at the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship.

 

Gary was in sizzling form as he birdied four consecutive holes from the 3rd, including the notorious fifth hole.

 

Also performing well in the first day of the competition were goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel MBE, Mark Murphy and event host Tony Jacklin CBE, who all finished in the top five.  

 

Schmeichel’s round was boosted by a memorable birdie two at the 1st which counted as an eagle because of his handicap of 5.  

 

Meanwhile, the team competition was won by Ian Halliwell on a score of -16. Runners up were Nailcote Hall on -14.

 

After a glamorous evening ball, the Pro-Am action gets underway with the first tee-time at 07.20 am tomorrow (wednesday) and gates opening at 8am.
