THE Scramble ambrose event was held at Coolamatong Golf Club on Sunday with teams vying to qualify for the regional round later in the year, in what is one of the biggest events on the Australian golfing calendar.

After playing 18 holes the winners were decided in an astonishing countback with Ewan Murdoch, Josh Shortland, Rod Caldwell and James McFarland winning with 57.87 nett, their back nine one stroke better than the second team.

The ambrose format of playing the best shot of the group always produces good scores, and the winning team had their fair share of highlights.

Starting with two birdies in the first four holes and another on the ninth, setup a three under front nine. Another four birdies in the first five holes on the back nine capped off with a birdie on the last hole sealed the win.

Runners-up were Greg Quinn, Chris Brown, Alan Butterworth and Jason Christie who also had the same nett score and produced some great golf between them.

Third place went to Soeren Stoettrup, Bryn Nicholas, Toby Peterson and Jordan Sell.

Of the 12 groups there were very good scores across the board and if a few more putts had dropped they would have been right in the mix.
