TWO -handicapper James Morgan won the Mike Lane Trophy at Ross GC when, for the first time, the trophy winner was based upon the combined gross performances in two 18-hole medal events.

Morgan's 151 gross total was enough to win by two shots and he becomes the club's men's 2014 Strokeplay Champion at the same time as he is the club's current men's matchplay champion.

The runner-up was Steve Wallbank with a combined total of 153 and his gross 73 medal score in the Centenary Cup, which also represented the second round of the Mike Lane Trophy, made him the best gross and nett performer on the day.

Ross Juniors Captain Niall Powell also finished on a 153 total in the Mike Lane Trophy and he was followed by David Barnard on 154, Arthur Cartwright on 155 and Nick Ellis on 158. In the Centenary Cup, the runner up in the gross section was Robert Beavis with a 75, which also included good rounds by Steve Woods with a 78, Alex Duncanson with a 79 and Warren Darrell with a gross 80.

Winston Wildsmith Salver: 1 Lynda Rodger 42 pts, 2 Steve Woods 41.
