ADAM Wootton birdied the final hole to win the PGA Southern Open Championship at East Sussex National.

The Oxford Golf Centre professional was the joint leader after carding a three-under-par 69 in the first round.

He picked up shots at the sixth and seventh in the second round, but a double bogey seven at the tenth undid his fine work.

Wootton was level par for his round heading down the final hole, but a birdie three saw him avoid a play-off.

It is his second big win on the circuit this summer, following success at the CK Group PGA Kent Open Championship in May.

MORE than 500 golfers took part in Golf Week, hosted by Frilford Heath.

Tadmarton Heath golfers provided the county’s two highest finishers across the six competitions.

Darren Booker fired a two-under-par 70 to finish in a tie for second place in the Gold Medal final.

Clubmate David Larkin was joint sixth in the English Golf Captains competition.

NIGEL Lawton was a cut above the rest of the field as he won both the gross and nett prizes at the Studley Wood men’s Club Championship.

Rounds of 72 and 78 saw him win the gross title by five shots from Neil Pettit, who finished second ahead of Paul Avenell on countback.

And it was also good enough for Lawton, who plays off four, to clinch the handicap competition by two strokes from Tom Wheeler.

MICHAEL Tippett had a hole-in-one at North Oxford's tenth hole, just three weeks after hitting the pin at the same hole.
