Tiverton - "one of the best 18-hole parkland courses in the region"

Preview:

Tiverton golf club will see the 2017 champion crowned.

It was originally designed by James Braid who won The Open five times and designed Gleneagles, Carnoustie and St Enodoc among about 200 others, and opened in 1932.

If you want to have an early look at the course then you'll need to click through a view of each hole. It looks long, fatigue could play a part.

What actually happened:

After a cooked breakfast-missing drive to Tiverton a close finish to the 2017 Tour was in the offing. It was a grey start but soon turned into a hot finale.

It was pretty unanimous that this was course of the weekend, living up to its proud boast. Very well kept and very fair, there were opportunities for players who could keep it in the straight and narrow. The front nine in particular got a lot of love.

Scoring wasn't that high (just Ben F over 31 which ended up securing him the title) which might have been more fatigue than the course. All round nice club and good clubhouse too.

Best scores:

35 points - Ben F (off 17) 2017
31 points - Ben W (off 8) 2017
31 points - Matthew (off 11) 2017
31 points - James (off 36) 2017
