A TEXTBOOK birdie on the last by Bradley Park club president Roger Pearson proved enough to give him and team mate Trevor Williams victory in the Am Am section of yesterday's Halifax and Huddersfield Alliance event on their own course.
That lifted them to 41 points, enough to pip Castlefields pair Richard Badrock and Fred Leek on a countback.
"Roger dominated the scoring but we dovetailed well and it was that great birdie on the last that made the difference," said Williams.
