Newburn’s golf title
Roy Newburn, who will captain Templeton in the Woodward Cup inter-club golf competition which starts on Sunday, won his club’s senior championship at the week-end. Newburn reached the final after beating Jim Voice, 3 and 2, in one semi-final, and Gary Kirk defeated Michael Roche, I up, in the other semi-final after Roche went out of bounds on 17. In the 36-hole final, Kirk was 2 up after 14, but New-
burn won the next for holes to lead 2 up after 18. The scoring was much better in the afternoon and they had a tight, battle. Newburn was 4 up with five to play, but lost the thirty-second to a birdie and the next when he three-put-ted. Kirk birdied the thirtyfourth to be 1 down with two holes remaining, but he was bunkered at the penultimate hole and lost it to a par by Newburn, who won 2 and 1. It was Newburn’s third success.
