Tuesday saw the first ever Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp Major as the Masters was held at Royal Cromer. Only 3 players had made the starting line up but on a fine day by the sea things looked set for a cracking competition.

Things got off to a bad start when the players discovered it would be a £35 green fee but after a few deep breaths everyone was ready for the off.
Bob got off to a shaky start averaging only a point a hole over the first 7. Although this was soon to change.

Ian also started slowly with only 7 points over the first 6 but 9 pts over the next 3 holes saw him have a credible 15 points at half way.

Kevin got off to the best start and had a 3 pt lead after 6 however his progress halted with a blob on the 7th to end the front 9 in second place with 14. By this time Bob had started his recovery and moved to 12pts.

| Another wayward teeshot from Kevin on the 4th but he was scrambling well and managed 2 pts |
Things rapidly start to change on the back 9 as Kevin got a blob, par and then 4 successive single point holes to fall away. A birdie on the short par 4 16th at least meant his eclectic improved but a total of 27 pts in good conditions was never going to be enough.

Despite his half way lead Ian also struggled picking up just 7 pts in the opening 5 back 9 holes. A 4 pointer on the par 4 15th made sure he secured 2nd place with 29 pts.

Bob had started a Bob charge and went par crazy with 4 pars over the first 5 holes shooting him into the lead. He continued to play well and could even afford to blob the last and win easily with 33 pts.
As it was a major it was double prize money which gave Bob a big lead on the 2015 money list.
Next week is back to the normal tour with a trip to Bungay.
