The TGA Open Championship 2011 - Results

We couldn't have asked for a better day to play our first major of the season. Certainly a great day to be on the golf course, but not a good day to be wearing orange trousers.
Ian Manthorp set the early pace with a front nine 39, for 22 points but dropped a couple of vital points on the back nine. Tony Smith got off to a shaky start, driving out of bounds on the first hole, but steadied the ship to shoot a back nine 40 which included 2 birdies, but David Summers bested everyone shooting a stunning 86 for 41 points, which included 10 pars, to become the inaugural TGA Open Champion, and pick up his 2nd win on the TGA Tour.
Tony Smith continued hitting the ball like a jackhammer to pick up his 2nd consecutive long drive title, and Mark Wilson took the prize for nearest to the pin.
The first major of the year is in the books, Masters next, seeyou all soon.

Long Drive: Tony Smith
Nearest to the Pin: Mark Wilson
