The story of the title

Glenn/Parks takes the title

Glenn and Parks found unified greatness in the day’s Blind Pairs, cruising to a win under the watchful eye of the Stableford gods. Their chemistry, reportedly forged over shared snacks and knowing glances, was simply too much for Gal and War, who settled for second. Not to be left out, Satch and Shanker (Grant) nabbed third. The magic of this partnership contest is, of course, that neither winner saw it coming—but their bank accounts will happily notice the £20 boost.
