Victory “unexpected” for new Wrag Barn Champion Kyle

Share this

Newly-crowned Wrag Barn Club Champion Kyle Campbell admitted his amazing victory was extremely unexpected and said adrenaline carried him to victory.

Campbell clinched victory thanks to a play-off win against Andres Gomez-Williams after the pair were tied after 36 holes on 10 over par.

A superb second round of 73 hauled Gomez-Williams into the play-off while Campbell followed up his opening round of 76 with a steady second round of 78.

Campbell admitted he didn’t expect to end the two days as champion, saying: “It was really surreal if I’m honest because I didn’t really expect it to happen.

“I think my mum was more emotional than I was. I think the few pivotal moments were probably my birdies down 16 and 17 in the first round to shoot four over, and obviously Ollie Jeans shooting a high score second round helped.”

Campbell admitted he was nervous ahead of the play-off, adding: “If you asked anyone before the play-off, I was really nervous, I think it was the adrenaline that really carried me through.

“I was going into the playoff with expectations low, I knew Andres was a good player, and he did well the week before in men’s county champs, so I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy task.”

John Davis won the Nett Competition after shooting a scored of 142 to pip Sam Roberts by just one shot.

In third place was Ben Phillips.
