With the prospect of the Olympics coming to London, Fort Baxter was in inspired form. Quality golf errupted from every green, as Dave charged to victory in the Olympic Celebration event and three matchplays remained tense throughout. The big battle was between Dave and Con. In spite of a six-par surge in an eight-hole stretch around the turn, Con could not shake off the damage of his four blobs and Dave's scintilating form. Matching him in the par count, Dave only slipped to one blob, thus posting a 37 pointer and a three hole victory. Gavin had an absolute nightmare game with five big blobs gifting the round to Tom. The most competetive game was between Mike and Geoff. The most dramatic hole was the 14th where Mike's triple bogie won by five strokes! In spite of this eleven stroke par three on the card, Geoff managed to just hit the ton, which showed that he played some quality golf throughout the rest of the game. Mike showed flashes of his old form and in spite of not having posted a par on the last two games, he notched up a birdie and three pars to stay in touch with Geoff. With the game being all square with one to go, Geoff hit a great chip and a long put to par and win by one.
