The Lord of the Land of the Rising Sun, Chris Ward, won the latest Charles Stanley Monday Stableford with 41 points, writes John Jonson.

His victory came despite a nervous finish which saw him only score one point on the last two holes.

Lawrence Hill finished second just one point behind.

It was a close call for third spot with four players having to be separated by countback.

Ed Bambrough got the nod, edging out three other seniors; Goodall, Thomas, and LeMasurier.
