Top two to join tamori

The top two finishers of the TNT Amateur Order of Merit Golf Series join Katsuyoshi Tamori today in the Pro-Am on the eve of the Travel Perkins Plc Seniors Masters over the Dukes Course at Woburn, England.

Mark Clifton (UGA) & Francisco Giles (DCGYC) 1st and 2nd respectively in the Series are joined along with TNT Grand Final Winner Tony Dougherty (ARGC) and Tamori in the afternoon shotgun.

Tamori has won seven times on the Japanese Tour, represented Japan twice in the World Cup and Alfred Dunhill Cup and two years ago clinched the Scandinavian Senior Masters.
