giving the number of stokes that player is behind the leader - e.g. "three strokes off the pace".
Clustered, albeit 10 shots off the pace, one finds Dean Robertson, Paul Casey and Justin Rose. These very young men have clearly posted their intent over the last few weeks and the old guard should sit up and take heed.
The 25-year-old, who started his round on Sunday six shots off the pace in a tie for 17th, birdied the first three holes, before tearing into the back nine.
Matt Palsenbarg of Northview Golf & CC also opened his final round slowly with 2 birds and 2 bogeys, leaving him at -6 at the turn and 2 shots off the pace, also finishing in a tie for 4th place overall after 36 holes.
