PHIL Archer was reunited with his old PGA North Region pals when he pegged up in the second of six Mansell Finishes Winter Series pro-ams at West Lancs.
And the 36-year-old European Tour player found the Blundellsands links to his liking as he shared the spoils with Ian Ridgway on six-under-par 66.
Archer, attached to Birchwood and on the reserve list for the UBS Hong Kong Open which starts on Thursday, looked to be coasting to victory as he grabbed six birdies in his opening 10 holes after starting his round at the second.
He added another at the 16th before blotting his card with a lone bogey on the home green.
Ridgway, tournament professional at High Legh Park who plays on the EuroPro Tour, was equally impressive and enjoyed a run of three successive birdies from the second on his way to signing for a perfect set of figures.
Craig Corrigan, from Haigh Hall, was third a shot off the pace as Bolton-based Steve Parry increased his lead in the Order of Merit.
