The february medal turned out to be a real classic. Russ lead for most of the way and built up his blobless run to 46 before staggering badly on the fifteenth. Takiing the turn in one under net par, he was just one stroke ahead of Geoff, who took fifteen strokes to complete the first  tow holes of the back nine. It was looking like a formality. Mike was now into second place, but was still four off the pace. A drive into the ditch from Russ and it looked as of Mike could have a chance of closing the gap. However it was Geoff, with a brilliant four on the hardest hole followed by par on the next, who made the running. Another blob for Russ on the penultimate hole put Geoff ahead, but it was all square at the end, with Geoff taking the medal with a one stroke advantage over the back nine.
