Double order of merit success for John Kennedy

Senior Amateur champion John Kennedy ended the season with a pair of order of merit wins – as he topped both the England Golf Senior Men’s Order of Merit and the Durham Seniors’ Order of Merit.

John, who made his England debut this season following his wins in the Scottish Senior Men’s Open at Montrose and The R&A Senior Amateur at Walton Heath, led the national points race as Rochester & Cobham Park Golf Club-based Danny Holmes finished second.

John also topped the seniors’ points race in his home county after adding victory in the Durham Seniors’ Matchplay Championship – beating Ramside Hall’s John Kirkpatrick 1up in the event’s final – to his win earlier this season in the Seniors’ Championship at Ryton.
