Tero Kilpela produced some astonishing golf in the first competition of the year as he won the New Years Cup with a countback victory over Callum Bird. Kilpela carded 38 Stableford points – which included an excellent 10-point haul onhole 3 – and defeated Bird by virtue of his stronger finish. James Littlewood finished one point further back in third place while the two on-course prizes went to Richard Cuddihy and DannyO’Brien.
