Lee Rooke who got off his sick bed to compete in the Welsh National PGA Championship at his home club Royal St Davids, Harlech survived a sudden-death play-off last night to lift the prestigious title.
Having been struck down with a bug last weekend Rooke did not think he would be able to make the start on Thursday morning but battled to join the fray- and was glad he did so.
He led after round one with a scintillating five under par 64 but found it a little bit more difficult yesterday and had to be content with a 71.
Rhos-on-Sea based Jon Bevan had started respectably with a 68 and the moved up a gear to card 67 which included two birdies in the last three holes.
This meant both Rooke and Bevan ended on 135 so they embarked on the play-off hole the short 18th again – and it did not take long for Rooke to squeeze home and collect the £1500 first prize.
Former Welsh amateur international Gary Houston finished third on 137.
