Cyprus Senior Amateur Men’s & Ladies
Opens 2013
The Cyprus Senior Amateur Men’s and Ladies
Open 2013, organized by the CGF and sponsored by the Cyprus Tourism
Organization (CTO) and the Cyprus Sports Organization (KOA) was successfully
held at the impressive Minthis Hills Golf Course, Tsada, Paphos, between May 25
and May 26. These 2-day Opens attracted a very strong field of 87 men and 26
ladies from 11 countries.
After the first day’s play in the Senior
Men’s Open George Swanson (SCO) with a first day score of 72 led the field by
six shots from Steve Clarke (GBR) and by 7 shots from 2009 Champion, Bob
Windsor (GBR). The final day’s play proved to be dramatic for all concerned and
particularly for George Swanson, who saw his substantial first-day lead
disappear on the 12th hole with a nightmare score of 12. Bob Windsor’s solid
score of 77 for the second day and 156 for the Championship was more than
enough for him to claim the title by 4 shots from Steve Clarke (160), with
George Swanson finishing in third place with 161.
In the Senior Ladies Open another
ex-champion, Sofia Gerardi (GRC) winner in 2011, with a first day score of 88
lead the field by four shots from Sue Storer (GBR) and Elaine Wall (GBR) both
with 92 shots. Sofia
not only continued where she left off from the first day, but improved her
performance with a final day score of 78 and 166 for the Championship to claim
the title once again. Sue Storer claimed the runners-up position with a score
of 90 for the day and 182 for the Championship, with Elaine Wall in third place
with a second day score of 96 and 188 total.
After the event, all competitors commented
on the excellent condition of the course, as well as the impressive clubhouse
and facilities of the course.
