Sadly for Simon Chris’s putter was on fire and he hit the best score of anyone at a Phantoms competition this year, coming in with a superb 43 points. Simon gave a real good fight though and hit his best score of the year coming in with a 39 but it just wasn´t enough . Chris is the winner of the player of the year trophy . Congratulations to Chris !!!
Also on Day 2 in 3rd place was Eddie with 36 points playing off 2 , another PB for a phantoms event.
