JOHN Carroll, a key member of the Lancashire side pursuing their second English County Championship title in three years at Hunstanton later this month, gave his game a timely boost when he won the Childwall Trophy by three strokes.
It was his second victory of the season in the Mitsushiba Northern Order of Merit following his success in the Frank Stableford Trophy at Wallasey in June.
And the plus three handicapper from Huyton & Prescot achieved it with rounds of 73 and 70, one-under in total, on a testing day when he was the only player to beat par.
The painter and decorator brushed aside the rest of the field with a clutch of five birdies in the afternoon when he rain eased off and could even afford to bogey the last two holes.
Kristian Taylor, from Formby, claimed second place on countback from Haigh Hall’s Reece Cranfield.
