SEL US Open Report
The week long 2nd Major of the Southern England
Links Golf Club Tour of 2014 took place recently and even with the World Cup
starting and Father’s Day taking place, 28 hardy souls out of the 43 who
started, completed the event around Congressional Golf Club. The event saw 4
days of changeable conditions, with the wind blowing hard on the 2nd
round and Champ greens on the final day, to mix it up.
As usual, a good mix of Tiers was present from Tour Legends
to Tour Pros with a healthy Tier competition.
The Tour Legends didn’t have it all their own way, but
stevietwotimes continued his quest for a clean sweep of Majors, topping the leaderboard from start to finish and in the end he got his name on this year’s
SEL US Open Trophy. He finished 6 shots
ahead of yours truely, who managed to split SEL's 2 Tour Legends. 4th
to 9th were split by 1 shot showing the great competition available
here at SEL.
PaulEnglish3, our next Legend in waiting took the Tour
Masters Tier equalling and beating most of the Legends. MyHandicapIsGolf and seethreepio took the
Masters and Tour Pro side events respectively.
Another cracking event, with almost 20000 credits in
sponsorship prize money split between the winners of each tier.
The Tour bus rolls ever onwards and it’s back to the normal
Tour Calendar until the next “big” one, the Southern Open to be held at the Royal
& Ancient St Andrews over 14th-20th July with 10500 in
sponsorship already generously pledged. Qualifying
begins in earnest with The Irish Open this week.
