IN-FORM Windermere Golf Club pro Simon Edwards has claimed an eight title of the season.

The experienced Welshman emerged triumphant from the Yorkshire PGA Premier Pro-Am at Ganton and Fulford Golf Clubs.

Edwards won by a single stroke, with an overall stableford score of 77 points, having totalled 37 at Ganton and 40 at Fulford.

Competing against 171 other participants, he finished the final round with a birdie and an eagle to secure the title.

It has been a strong season for Edwards, who last month topped the leaderboard at the Crosby Beacon Trophy with a score of 67.

In March, he triumphed in the golfbreaks.com Pinehurst Pro-Am at Kiawah Island and in February produced a string of birdies during the PGA North Taylor Made Overseas Pro-Am in Portugal, returning 23 birdies and an eagle across four rounds.

“I’m delighted with my performance, not only this season, but at the Yorkshire PGA Premier, which is one of the biggest events of the year for me.” said Edwards.

“Ganton, in particular, is a very tough course, so a good performance there, followed by the same at Fulford, secured an excellent result.”
