The 2015 winner of The Bunkers Wide Open was Chris Warbrick with a phenomenal score of 2 over par, giving him a massive 42 Stableford points.
The win was made more significant as it is the first ever Bunkers Golf Society back-to-back winner having won the previous event at Preston. Careful course management was key for Chris as he elected to take long irons from tricky tees - where other players relentlessly smashed drivers. His iron play was exceptional and his fairways hit and greens in regulation were of a high percentage. Winning by a 5 shot margin and shooting in excess of 40 points is a superb feat and he should be rightly proud. CONGRATULATIONS on a superb victory. READ ABOUT THE DAY HERE |
