Great Harwood's Coy unlucky at weekend double bill

9:46am Friday 30th September 2011 in Golf

STEVE Coy put himself forward for the award for unluckiest golfer of the year last weekend at Great Harwood with two agonising second-placed finishes.

On Saturday, Coy missed out in the £500 subs shoot-out to eventual winner Gavin Shaw by just half a shot on a card play-off before ending up as runner-up to CJ Walsh in Sunday’s Coronation Bowl subsidiary event, again on a card play-off.

Past Captain CJ Walsh claimed victory with a nett 68, despite almost throwing it away with a double-bogey six on the final hole.

Coy signed for an 87-19-68 to join Walsh and Tony Skellern (80-12-68) at the top of the leaderboard.
