Danny Cooke put together two superb one-over par rounds of 72 to win one of Canterbury Golf Club's most prestigious events, the 36-hole medal Rogerson Cup (handicaps 0-16) by four shots on Sunday.

Cooke (H3), 25, only joined the club in January and was delighted to win his first trophy at Canterbury, winning from a 110-strong field.

There was also joy for 22-year-old Connor Bundock, who had a maiden victory in the two-round Redford Trophy (handicaps 17-28), which was held in conjunction.

Cooke trailed leaders Graham Lee (H15) and Alan Bundock (H9) by a shot overnight, alongside +1 player John Coupe, but Cooke was the class act on Sunday.

His net total of 138 saw him win by four from Coupe, who took second place on countback from Alan Bundock and fourth-placed Lee.

Cooke said: "I was surprised to win it on four-under net.

"I thought that score would be a few short, so I’m delighted with it now.

"I’m just happy to finally play some decent golf and win my first trophy at Canterbury and in a 36-hole medal as well, which is one of the more difficult ones to win."

Bundock led overnight in the Redford Trophy with a solid one-under par net 70 (gross 88) and a respectable net 75 (gross 93) on Sunday saw him win by four from playing partner Gordon Miller (H17) who shot net 76, 73 to take second by a shot from Melvyn Curd (H21, net 73, 77).

Connor said: "I’m very happy to win my first trophy.

"I’ve had a few close shaves but, this time, I got over the line."

Bruce Maguire (H14) scored a hefty 40 points for victory in Thursday’s men’s Stableford, winning by one from Richard Beer (H6), who took second place on countback from Liam Holmes (H7).

Heather Hardy (H23) and Ann Lake (H19) both scored net 69s to take first and second place in Wednesday's Summer Rose Bowl competition.

Meanwhile, Richard Wallis continued his fine form to finish joint-winner of the NHS London Open at West Essex GC on Thursday but was disappointed not to win outright.

The event was scored as a Stableford points competition and Great Britain & Ireland PGA Cup player Wallis, from Herne Bay, shot a three-under 68 for 39 points to finish tied first with Paul Nessling of Sedlescombe GC, from a field of 95.

But Canterbury teaching professional Wallis was annoyed to bogey three of the last four holes, with no play-offs permitted because of coronavirus regulations.

Wallis said: "I basically missed the last four greens and the pins were so tricky it was very difficult to get up and down, and I bogeyed three of them.

"Obviously, I’m pleased but not as pleased as I could have been.

"I was disappointed to be six-under with five to play and finish three-under.

"Personally, I don’t expect to go backwards and it doesn’t really feel like a win when you’re tied first.’’
