WOBURN, England : Ireland's Brendan Lawlor prevailed in a thrilling head-to-head battle with England's Kipp Popert to claim the inaugural G4D Open title for golfers with disabilities at Woburn's Duchess course on Friday.
Spain's Juan Postigo, who was born without his lower right leg and knee and plays without a prosthetic limb, shot the best round of the day, a two-over-par 74, to finish third overall. A bogey on 16 allowed the 24-year-old Popert to close to within a stroke but he found trouble at the last and Lawlor had the luxury of a tap-in to seal a memorable first G4D Tour title.
"For every player here, we felt like royalty this week," he said before lifting the trophy."Hopefully this is the start and we're going to have many more of these major events.Popert, born with a form of Cerebral Palsy called Spastic Diplegia, has won five times on the G4D Tour in 2022/23, but fell just short of glory after a titanic tussle.
