Steve McGlynn Clinches 2011 Title
Steve McGlynn won the Cleveland Srixon Northern Order of Merit in style with a nine shot victory in the final fixture of the season, the Pendle Witch at Clitheroe. And in an ironic twist of fate, the Blackburn player took full advantage of the absence of rivals Richie Blundell and Mark Young who were in Lancashire’s six-man team which failed to defend the English County Championship at Ganton.
McGlynn was named as a non-travelling reserve which freed him to compete at Clitheroe where he started the day only 30 points behind merit leader Blundell, from Hillside, and 95 ahead of title holder and three time winner Young, from Longridge. He made his intentions clear from the start, opening up with a 70 then repeating the score in the second round for a two-under-par total to top the merit table by 120 points. All told, he picked up five birdies as Nelson’s Craig Fort finished second for the second week in a row.
It was McGlynn’s third success of the season, taking the honours in the Calvert Trophy at Ashton & Lea and Derek Ingham Trophy at Rossendale.
FINAL STANDINGS: 1,210 Steve McGlynn (Blackburn); 1,090pts Richie Blundell (Hillside); 965 Mark Young (Longridge); 710 John Carroll (Huyton & Prescot); 525 Sean Towndrow (Southport & Ainsdale); 475 James Bolton (Formby); 375 Mark Ashworth (Clitheroe); Nick Uttley (Nelson) 365; 360 James Newton (Prestbury); 330 Robert Fawcett (Dukinfield), D Nutter (Clitheroe); 325 Henry Featherstone (Ringway).
