Maxitours second day at Quinta North
Glorious sunshine and shorts were the order of the day once again as Maxitours visited the incredible Quinta North Course for the penultimate round in the Algarvian Classic.
The front nine played into the sea breeze and scoring was tough but the back nine was there for the taking.
The big question of the day was whether the Mere Millionaires could keep up their great golf. The answer was NO as they slumped to a 73 to drop down to 3rd place overall. It didn’t stop Alan Baxter from smiling though – I love that man.
Incredibly Mick Mahon, Munro Donald, Andy Faulkner and Dave Westwood -four of the nicest guys you will ever meet who were dead last yesterday with a 67 – today scored an impressive 85 points to win the day and make a massive move up the leaderboard. Well played.
In the overall team score it is all to play for with over half the field still in with a chance of victory tomorrow.
Kev Harts team are lying in 2nd place. Kev said that they would have had an even better score but Paul Yearsley was hopeless.
Taking the lead are Pete Ledger and his team of Jim Clarke, James Joyce and Graham Jackson. They followed a solid 80 points with 83 today to take a two shot lead on to the South course tomorrow. Anything can happen…..
Another great day today.
Good luck tomorrow everyone.
Tim.
