What The Pro's Are Saying

"The Players Tour is a superbly organised developmental tour I would recommend to golfers who are looking for fierce competition on quality courses.

Both Jon and Richard know what players are looking for in tournaments and go out of their way to accommodate. From yardage planners to physios and most things in between every thing is done in a friendly and first class manner."

Paul Eales former winner on the European Tour

"The Players Tour is a fabulous concept, the standard of golf is high and the ‘behind the scenes’ even higher.

It’s crucial for the development of the tour to be run smoothly, efficiently and at good venues. With those ideals already at the forefront Jon & Richard will create a great opportunity for us all! Good luck"

Andrew Murray former European Open Champion

"The Players Tour provides a great opportunity to play competitive golf against proven players from both the professional and amateur ranks at first class courses.

With knowledgeable and professional behind the scenes organisation the Tour is already providing strong fields and an excellent spread of the prize purse.

Good luck for the future with what should, on the basis of the first few events, become a strong development tour."

Dave Smith, MEN Open Winner 2007

Event Report - Posted 25/04/09 09:46

A last hole slip from European Tour star Phil Archer allowed Ilkley's James Hepworth the chance to steal top spot on the first play-off hole at the superbly presented Vale of Llangollen.

Phil looked to have the edge over Harry Proos after a high class birdie on Llangollen's famous 9th hole moving to 9 under with Harry at 8. Up front the other players seemed to be battling for the places with James eventually setting the ckubhouse lead at 6 under.

As the final group moved through the back nine local man Lee Rooke, recovering from a double at the 9th, seemed to have left it too late until Phil and Harry both came to grief on the greens late on.

After a series of three putts first Harry then Phil slipped back leaving Phil with a one shot advantage on the last tee at 7 under with Lee's super cool birdie on 17 seeing him suddenly back in the thick of things at 6 under.

The drama continued on the uphill par three 18th with Lee's tee shot finishing on the road to the right and Phil on the geen but some distance from the hole and on the lower tier. After some discussion as to the exact spot for Lee's free drop he played an excellent chip from a very difficult position only to watch it trickle onto the slope and the lower tier leaving him too much to do to save his par. His tap in 4 saw him share third with James Whatley, Oliver Whitley and Roger Chapman.

Despite giving it his full attention Phil's putt for the win slipped by and James, who had been so convinced he'd missed out that he'd set off for home only to be called back, found himself heading for the 18th tee again.

Two solid tee shots later, both struck straight at the flag, the advantage rested with James as Phil was once again on the lower tier. In a repeat of the scene minutes earlier his positive effort slipped a few feet by leaving James with the chance to win it with a birdie. In a somewhat anticlimatic finish James lipped out only for Phil to suffer the same fate as previously as his par putt slipped by.

Full credit to James as his second round 69 was one of only two under 70 and the joint best on a much more difficult day for scoring after the birdie bonanza enjoyed by many in the perfect conditions on Monday.

The seniors was once again taken by Roger Chapman from his old rival Mark Mouland with the battle for third secured by Andrew Baguley. Our regulars will be happy to wish Roger well as he embarks on both the European Seniors and to the USPGA Seniors next month!

Neil Jones from Vicars Cross saw a welcome return to form to win the amateur section his highlight being his first day level par 72.

The Tour would like to thank all at the Vale of Llangollen club for their first class hospitality and superbly presented course and to ADAMS and Nick Hibbs with the Tour van seeing much interest and requests on the first of what we hope will be several visits to events this year.
