This was demonstrated during this year’s Moortown Masters as the conditions saw the round 1 competition standard scratch rise to a staggering 5 over par, demonstrating the difficulty of the days task.
The first 18 holes saw Jamie Miller (Fulford) shoot the best opening round of 71, with David Houlding (Moortown) and Chris Nichol (Waterton Park) both one shot adrift with impressive opening rounds of 72.
As conditions showed no sign of improving in the afternoon scoring continued to very difficult. The two best rounds of 71 in the afternoon were posted by Moortown’s Nigel Sweet and Scot Hartley of Low Laithes.
As many of the morning leaders stumbled it was the solid relentless game of Miller (pictured above) who posted a second round score of 72 to take the Moortown Masters title.As ever the Moortown Masters is the concluding round of the Yorkshire Order of Merit. Roger Roper (Wike) was the OOM leader coming into the final event with a firm 179 point lead.
