Congratulations to Jai Turner for winning this event with 4 out of 5! His path to tournament victory was made a little easier when leader Max Phillips and close rival Michael D’Arcy were both unable to make the final round. Sam Meder also gave Jai a big scare in their last round game and Allan Fossey also looked likely to get to 4 points too until Tony Weller turned the tables late in their close battle.
