Manley wins in France
Stuart Manley birdied the 72nd hole to win the latest Challenge Tour in France. A brilliant 62 in Rd 2 set up the victory.
“It feels amazing, awesome. I’m lost for words,” he said. “It’s been a long, tiring week. I was really pleased with my 62 in the second round. That is probably my lowest round on the Challenge Tour and DP World Tour.
“To have the lead at the start of the third round is always quite tough and I didn’t have my game during the last few rounds. I managed to keep the ball in play and stayed close to the guys and managed to hole the odd putt, and then I’ve hit the best shot I’ve hit all year at the last which I’m chuffed about.
“I didn’t have my game today. I was really struggling with my irons, but I managed to hit the fairways, which actually is the toughest thing on this golf course.
“Fingers crossed I can get it done for the rest of the season. It gives me some confidence and puts me inside the top 20 on the Rankings.”
Jamie Rutherford continued his excellent run of form with a T 14 position to take him up to 26th in the latest rankings.
