LIAM Jeffrey won his first Mitsushiba Northern Order of Merit title when he upstaged a big field of seasoned players in the Ashton Trophy at St Annes Old Links.
The Haigh Hall ace defied the elements with rounds of 72 and 73 for a one-over-par total which indicated how tough the conditions were.
Three birdies cancelled out by as many bogeys set him up a one shot lead at the half-way stage as his second round followed a similar pattern.
Royal Lytham’s Henry Tomlinson was runner-up on a card play-off from Blackburn’s Steve McGlynn.
And merit leader Mark Young, from Longridge, added more points to his tally to extend his lead to 295 over Hillside’s Richie Blundell with two fixtures remaining.
