Day 3 – St Mellion – The Championship

Challenging course conditions and classic Cornish weather was reflected in the scoring for this year’s championship. Only 7 of the field managed to score in the 20s, and the result was very close in the end. On 27 points was our 2022 champion, Chris Wain. With 28 points, but losing out on count back over the second 9 holes, was JP.

However, our champion for 2024 – also with 28 points – is Sue Scott pictured below receiving the trophy from Pete Cosford.
