County Champion Richard Harris
Richard Harris holed a slippery twelve foot birdie putt on the 18th green to win the Hampshire County Championship at Hayling Golf Club yesterday (5th September).
The final hole birdie meant that Harris defeated Toby Burden by the narrowest of margins after both players had dominated the two day Championship at their home Club.
Earlier in the day Harris had booked his place in the Final with a semi-final victory over Blackmoor's Mark Burgess while Burden had defeated Kevin Hickman by 2 and 1.
FRIDAY QUALIFYING
Defending Champion Toby Burden led qualifying for this year's Hampshire County Championship at Hayling Golf Club today.
