The winners Paul Kinnear and Thomas Gandy

Congratulations to Paul Kinnear on winning the Formby Hare 2015. Great second round to take the title for the second year running.

Paul Kinnear homed in on the Formby Hare for the second year in a row

Paul Kinnear homed in on the Formby Hare for the second year in a row to power to the top of the Galvin Green Northern Order of Merit table after four events.

It was also his second win of the season following his success in the Henriques Trophy at Hesketh seven days earlier.

The England international atoned for his opening 76 with a second round of 70, highlighted by four birdies, to sign for a two-over-par total.

That left him a shot ahead of his Lancashire team-mate, Huyton & Prescot’s John Carroll, a two-time winner of the trophy, as Kinnear's Formby clubmate Mark Duncalf claimed third place on countback.

The Formby Hare and Lancashire Links Trophy

Meanwhile, Thomas Gandy, a member of Isle of Man club Rowany, received the Lancashire Links Trophy, which carried world ranking points for the combined scores from the Formby Hare, in which he finished fifth, and Saturday’s S&A Bowl when he was runner-up.

ORDER OF MERIT: 300pts Paul Kinnear (Formby); 250 Reece Cranfield (Wigan); 150 Dominic Barnes (Caldy), Mark Duncalf (Formby); 100 Joey Lamb (Wilpshire),Tom Gandy (Rowany), John Carroll (Huyton & Prescot); 90 Adam Wills (Portal), James McCormick (Styal); 85 Geoff Harris (Formby).
