/> Men’s Country Stroke Play – Monday & Tuesday
Defending champion Scott Warren (Gin Gin) has returned to win the 2016 Queensland Men’s Country Week Stoke Event at the Redcliffe Golf Club.
After holding Monday's opening round lead with one-under 70, Warren entered Tuesday’s second round two-shots ahead of Ryley Martin (Wantima).
Warren never relinquished his lead over the final 18 holes with his four-under 67 round consisting of five birdies and only one bogey blemish. A 36-hole total of 137 gave him a seven shot win over runner-up Peter Wouters (Caloundra) carding rounds of 75-69 (144).
Ipswich member Peter Cook recorded a hole-in-one on the par-3 13th in round two with his eight iron now his favourite club in the bag.
