Nicholas clinches NGL Higgs Bowl

Cold Ashby’s Stuart Nicholas lifted the first piece of silverware on the 2017 NGL calendar as he won the Higgs Bowl at Peterborough Milton GC.

With strong winds making scoring difficult, the three-handicapper was in magnificent form early on as he bagged gross birdies at the first, seven and 13th holes.

Despite carding a triple bogey at the 15th, Nicholas responded in style with a birdie on the 17th to grab a one stroke victory with a net 69.

In a field of 159 golfers, Wellingborough’s John McGowan battled back from a slow start to take second on countback from Paul Pridmore (Kettering), James Nunn (Northants County) and Mark Spring (Collingtree).

Robin Williams collected the gross prize with a one-under-par 70 on his home course.
