Bedford Clinches 2009 Title
Mike Bedford is hoping that winning the Mitsushiba Northern Order of Merit will serve as a springboard to a place in the England squad. The 21-year-old Cheshire county champion denied his Lancashire counterpart Mark Young an unprecedented third successive triumph in the country’s biggest scratch series after a dramatic finale in which they finished level on points. They had jockeyed for top spot over the closing weeks with Bedford drawing level with his Longridge rival in the penultimate fixture when he successfully defended the Ashton Trophy at St Annes Old Links. He was awarded the title because of a superior ratio of victories of four to one which included the Prestbury Open at his home club.
