MARK Young wrapped up his third Mitsushiba Northern Order of Merit title in four years – on the day he was helping Lancashire to victory in the English County Finals at Hunstanton.
The Longridge man’s last remaining rival Richie Blundell, from Hillside, needed to win the Pendle Witch at Clitheroe to stay in the race.
But his seventh place finish earned him only 40 points and languishing 255 behind his county team-mate with one event left, the rearranged Trafalgar Trophy at Nelson next Sunday.
Meanwhile, Mark Ashworth took advantage of local knowledge over his home course to win the Pendle Witch, and addition to this year’s fixture list.
A brace of 70s, two-under-par all told, left him four ahead of Blackburn’s Steve McGlynn. Ashworth, who also won the Revidge Cannon at Blackburn this season, collected two birdies in the morning and five in the afternoon.
SCORES (Par 71): 140 Mark Ashworth (Clitheroe) 70 70; 144 Steve McGlynn (Blackburn) 73 71, Kristian Taylor (Formby) 71 73; 147 Craig Fort (Nelson) 76 71; 148 Andrew Heesom (Clitheroe) 78 70, Neil Hillier (Silloth) 75 73; 149 Richie Blundell (Hillside) 77 72, Clive Robertson (Green Howarth) 76 73; 150 Chris Heslip (Chipping Norton) 79 71, Robert Beecham (Clitheroe) 73 77; 151 Ian Hardman (Clitheroe) 74 77; 152 Liam Ball (Chorley) 75 77.
ORDER OF MERIT: 1,090pts Mark Young (Longridge); 835 Richie Blundell (Hillside); 510 Sean Towndrow (S&A); 465 John Carroll (Huyton & Prescot); 410 Adam Andrews (Ashton-in-Makerfield); 400 Paul Kinnear (Formby); 370 Steve McGlynn (Blackburn); 360 Mark Ashworth (Clitheroe); 355 James Robinson (S&A), Jay McGarvey (Whitefield); 465 John Carroll (Huyton & Prescot); 305 Liam Ball (Chorley); 300 Ian Kenwright (Haydock Park); 285 Daniel Young (Prestbury); 275 Ian Winstanley (Formby).
