Well, Syd did it again - and in grand style. He scored 39 points again on the final day at El Rompido South yesterday and ended up retaining the Iberian Cup with the largest winning margin ever. His best 4 score of 146 was astonishing - when is age going to catch up with him?
In fact, Syd won just about everything - the Cup, the Eclectic (53, on countback from Ken), the Gross (of course), most daily wins (3), best 6 day score (199), most longest drives (2, equal with Malcolm), most matches won (all 6), and most winning fourballs (5).
In fact, it's easier to list what he didn't win, rather than what he did - he didn't win the Wee Cup - in fact he wasn't even nominated this year, belying prior years of multi nominations and wins. This dubious honour fell to me this year - having hardly put a foot wrong in the previous 11 years of the IC, I went to town a bit this year and a number of my nominations involved misuse of buggies, but the clincher came with my comment the other night about "who's the p**f with the cappucino?" - it wouldn't normally have even been a nomination, but coming on top of the others, I was defenceless.
Ken and Dick had most nearest the pins (3 apiece) and I had the most H.o.G.'s (2). Richard had the most Ladies (4), and Malcolm the most lost balls (16 out of a relatively small total of 111).
More stats and photos to folow in due course. Right now, I'm off to pack.
