Gtour 2nd Event - De Vere Oulton Hall

David Wilson claimed the second Gtour event of the season at De Vere Oulton Hall last Saturday, in what continues to be an exciting UK Amateur Golf Event.

Wilson carded a superb total of 38 points to eventually win by three points from Tim Hawkins and Andrew Lee who tied for second.

Wilson said: “After my performance at Belton Woods, this is just unbelievable, I’m in total amazement.”

On a day that started in rain the early starters found it quite tough, but as the weather eased off the scoring got better.
Wilson almost secured victory on the 16th green when he carded a gross eagle to give him five points for the hole.

Simon Durkan finished 4th in his first ever Gtour event and commented “It has been a great day, well organised and I’ve played with some great lads so I’ll certainly be back.”

Andrew Lee currently sits at the top of the Order of Merit, after 3rd and 6th placings in the first 2 events, as the Gtour takes a short six week break.  Shane Davies and David Wilson, winners of the first 2 events, only occupy 3rd and 5th spot in the current order of merit, with Tim Hawkins entering at 11th after only one event.
