The story of the title

Graham takes the title

Graham claimed the ultimate slice of humility, his 33 points securing the famed Wooden Spoon. In a performance that veered clear of statistical greatness, Graham proved that sometimes persistence (and the odd misadventure) are all you need. Big Dog, with 34, and Steve, with 42, each spared themselves utensil-based ignominy. Graham’s gentle grip on last place remains a talking point—at least until the next group therapy session.

Toughest holeHole 127.21 average gross. The field found its sternest examination here. Best scoring chanceHole 41.84 points average. The clearest scoring opportunity arrived here. Also contested hereHole 4Nearest Pin - Aylesford Hole 4. A dogleg hole—and while description sources vary, earlier commentary suggests water in front of this green. Ensure your tee shot reaches the corner to see the green properly, as water lurks, and a large putting surface awaits. Also contested hereHole 5Nearest Pin - Arden Hole 5. A short par 3 played slightly downhill to a large green, which is well‑guarded by five sizeable bunkers. Precision is critical, and the green warrants a confident shot that avoids those traps. Also contested hereHole 6Nearest Pin - Aylesford Hole 6. A narrow fairway demands discipline off the tee. Accuracy is essential on approach—this hole returns to the double green shared with the 3rd. Mis‑ties here can lead you astray.
