Tripathi, the reigning singles matchplay champion, produced a remarkable performance over the Faldo course and returned a net 67 to clinch Division A (handicap 0-15) by two strokes from Eric Koeman. The highlights of Tripathi’s gross 76, four-over par, was a hat-trick of birdies coming on the third, ninth and 12th holes.
Eddie Hesson coped admirably with the climate by firing a gross 72, net 71, good enough to give him best gross of the day and third in Division A.
Hiromasa Tsuji took top prize in Division B (handicap 16-28) following his net 73. Madhav Nair claimed the runners-up place with a 75, one clear of Alex Wonyop Kim in third.
