PGA Matchplay Victory for Sean

23rd October 2020

Sean Towndrow won the Lancashire Professional Golfer Association final, held at Royal Lytham Golf Club on Thursday.

He qualified by winning the stroke play round at Bury, shooting 5 under par and then further match-play victories followed including a 5 – 3 win in the semis to set up the 18 hole final.

Sean was one under par after six holes but found himself 3 down after his opponent had four birdies in the first six. But the ex-England and Lancashire Amateur golfer fought back to victory and the match was conceded on the 17th green following a great bunker shot by Sean, on the tough par 4, into the wind.

“It was a tough match.” said Sean afterwards. “I’ve been working hard on posture and set-up and this paid dividends for me today.”

The Southport golfer has been unable to compete in many professional tournaments this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic but is looking forward to 2021 when the Europro Golf Tour is scheduled to recommence.
