PR MAN John Knight got the chance to write his own press release by winning through to the finals of a prestigious golf tournament in Spain.

Knight, a Blackburn-based public relations consultant, came second in the regional heats of the One2One Business Golf Championships at The Tytherington Club in Cheshire while representing one of his clients, Abbey Telecom.

He just missed out on first place after a card play-off but second spot still guaranteed him an appearance in the final at the Montecastillo Hotel and Golf Resort in Jerez, Spain, in December - home of the annual Volvo PGA Masters.
