Super Scade scoops Swaffham prize

James Scade (Little Channels Golf Centre) made six birdies and an eagle in recording a one-shot win in the Swaffham Pro-Am.

Scade flew out of the traps with an eagle three at the opening hole but gave both strokes back by the third.

His rollercoaster start to the round continued with a birdie at the fourth and then a bogey at the fifth.

But he had settled into a fluent vein of form by the start of the back-nine, making gains at four out of five holes from the 10th.

He could even afford a dropped stroke at the 17th, eventually signing for a four-under-par 67 – one better than home PGA trainee Nicholas Cains (Swaffham).

Cains enjoyed his own purple patch on the inward loop, making eagle on 13 before birdies at the next two holes.

Steve Cipa (South Essex Golf Centre) was the other player to break par with a one-under 70. Mark Talbott (Thorpe Hall) shot 71 for sole claims on fourth place.

Cipa led the winning team on a tally of 126 – two better than Scade’s quartet.
