Glenmuir Club Professional Championship Edwards Cruises to Title Win at County Louth

Simon Edwards (Carden Park, Cheshire) completed his domination of the Glenmuir Club Professional Championship when he toured the County Louth course in yet another sub-par score, 69 this time, for a winning aggregate of 275, 17 under par. The holder, Bob Cameron from Kent, ended his defence brilliantly with a closing 66, good enough to hoist him into runners-up position three shots behind.

The 30 year-old Edwards expressed himself shocked and stunned at having won the biggest cheque of his career, £9250, saying "ask my assistant how I was playing last Sunday over our own course, I could scarcely keep the ball on the fairway".

That certainly wasn't the case over the fine Irish links that was reckoned by most of the players to have been a wonderful test of golf.

The Englishman's worst round was a two under par 71, but any chance of a close finish was flattened when Edwards fired a series of birdies in the opening nine holes for an outward 33. And just to snuff out any late challenges he made further gains ­ after two dropped shots - at the final two holes.
