And it could have been
much better when one takes into account the fact that Sykes drove out of bounds at the opening hole and also dropped three shots on the 16th and 17th holesl Here, hole-by-hole, is the

year as assistant to Gary Coope before he moved from Prestwich to Mytton Fold, works at Ultraframe in Clitheroe and leads the Order of Merit by five
points with just two quali fying rounds remaining. The new record shaved
one shot off the previous mark set by Danny Mur phy earlier in the season. In the September medal
record-breaker Sykes was followed home by Frank Mindle (90-24-66), Neville Shears (85-17-68) and Dave Carney (94-25-69.). O Mytton Fold's James Kennerley and Harry Gould (44 points) finished runner-up in the latest ELPGA meeting at Preston
