European Tour golfer, Daniel Brown, is chasing Jonathan Cheetham for pole position in the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship Pro-Am competition.
The 29-year old, who finished in the Top 10 at the 152nd Open in Scotland last month, played alongside Clitheroe Golf Club’s Ian Hackett, collecting 50 points and finishing four under par to come in at joint third.
Brown finished the day tied with Robert Harris, Fraser Mann, Philip Price and Philip Archer who ended level on points and also four under.
Cheetham put in an incredible solo display, claiming pole position amongst the pros at 6 under par and with 48 points. Thetford Golf Club’s Jake Gunby finished top of the amateur leaderboard, ending the day level on par and with 36 points to take him and teammate Ashley Mason to joint 8th.
In another morning highlight, Cheetham potted the competition’s second hole-in-one in as many days (following Simon Harbridge’s Celeb-Am opener on Tuesday), sinking the ball with perfection at hole 5.
Day 2 of the Farmfoods British Par 3’s Pro-Am kicks off on Thursday morning as the professionals battle it out for the final €50,000 prize pot, with the final group of second-placed Jarmo Sandelin and Cheetham teeing off at 3:30pm in the historic competition’s 91st outing.
