Ganton professional Gary Brown and his amateur partner, Graham Cook, won the 2025 PGA Super 60s title with a score of 87 points at Cardrona Hotel, Spa and Resort in Peebles.
The 36-hole betterball event is open to PGA members and amateurs aged 60 and over, and this year it brought together 72 teams from across the country.
“We wanted to do well. We came second last year, and we’ve done great. I’ve got a great partner. I thought we’d do all right, but I’m delighted to have won,” said Gary.
Graham added: “We’re really competitive. Gary gives it 110%. He is the pro down at Ganton, where I’m a member, and we’ve played a lot of golf together.”
“To get it in play off the tee on 16 is difficult, particularly when under pressure, so I think that was a key moment,” added Gary. “17 was also playing difficult. There are some tough holes coming in as everything seemed to be playing into the wind.”
“All the guys we played with, both the pros and amateurs, have been really good,” added Graham. “You couldn’t have wished for better competitors than the four we played against.”
The Ganton duo got off to a flyer in round one, scoring 45 stableford points, and they showed no signs of slowing down on day two – carding 42 points for a total of 87.
They were closely followed by Hartlepool-based Graeme Bell and Stephen Taylor, who finished one shot behind.
The tournament also awarded a trophy in the Superb 70s category for PGA professionals and amateurs aged 70 and over – with pro Murray White and partner Robert Head (The Melbourne) lifting the trophy with a total of 78 points.
