Durham-based Ian Hendry and George Wraith achieved victories in two prestigious events as the season headed into its final weeks.
Ian, who plays out of Seaton Carew Golf Club and won the Durham County Seniors Championship in 2021, put together rounds of 71 and 74 over the Southport and Ainsdale links to win the David Marsh Seniors Trophy. He finished two shots clear of Bramhall’s Gareth Bradley and Garforth’s Steve Cain as Ramside’s John Kirkpatrick finished in fourth place with rounds of 75 and 73.
The victory was a poignant one at Southport and Ainsdale – the tournament taking place shortly after the passing of former Walker Cup player and captain David.
Meanwhile, Durham City-based George enjoyed a successful trip north to Southerness, winning the Super Seniors International Masters.
George’s triumph came after a close countback on the last nine holes of the third and final round, the City player posting a five over-par total of 212, including a closing round of 69, to edge out Worthing’s Doug Cameron.
