Shropshire golf aces nearer to Open Championship
Thursday 16th June 2011, 6:33PM BST.
Farr was in action against Sweden’s Oskar Arvidsson today after seeing off Woolston Manor’s Ross Dee by one hole yesterday.
The Ludlow ace had the chance to seal victory on the 17th before lipping out with a 10ft effort when one up, but he exchanged pars on the last to seal victory.
Chesters, 21, led only once in his clash against Belgium’s Thomas Detry yesterday – but that was when it mattered most on the first extra hole.
The crucial moment came when Chesters – who had his mother Gina as caddie – eagled the 547-yard 17th when one down, holing a 40ft putt to level the match before clinching victory at the 19th when his opponent had a bogey.
He was facing Moor Park’s Matthew Wallace, who beat leading qualifier Gregory Eason yesterday, in the second round.
Both Shropshire hopefuls came through two rounds of strokeplay at Hillside and Hesketh to reach the last 64.
