Tasman Golf's Paul Silke recently won the Mayfield Motorworld Rarangi Open

Tasman Golf's Paul Silke recently won the Mayfield Motorworld Rarangi Open, defying the odds and the stacked field to claim his maiden open title!

Silke who was +2 for the event held off big name players on his way to the title. He was closely followed by local pro Chas Craig who finished +3. In third place we had Tyrone Nelson who carried on his fine form from his 2008 Shirley Open win to finish at +6. Rounding out the top 5 we had two in form Tasman reps Brook Hale and Connor (originates from Hira and is part of the Long Blacks) Winter who finished the event at +7!

On the ladies side, the stage was set for a battle of the young guns. Tasman’s number 1 and 2 locking horns in an epic showdown, yet sadly after day 1 Lizzie Neale had to pull out due to a back injury leaving Aroha Minhinnick to take the spoils winning the event by 14 shots over eventual second place Tracy Barry. Andrea Thomas rounds out the top 3.

In the Nett, Jerome January took out the men’s overall Nett with a 142 while Di Mcarthy took out the women’s overall Nett finishing with 143!
