The story of the title

Neil takes the title

Neil assembled a 37-point Stableford round, routinely demonstrating that consistency may not be exciting, but it does tend to win golf competitions. With Gal on 33 and Josh posting 32, Neil's margin wasn't so much a runaway as a quiet slip out the side exit. There were no fireworks, but Neil’s maths was spot on, and the others had to settle for calculator duties: Neil’s opening statement at Bedford and County was impossible to ignore.
