Gisborne ParkA first sub-par round at Park is in Zane Boyle’s sights.
And it probably should have come on Sunday.
Boyle posted an excellent 1-over 73-8-65 in winning the men’s stableford with 43 points.
He had five birdies, including a two, but was left to rue a triple-bogey-7 on the 16th hole where he had drain issues.
But that’s the cruel reality of a game where you can pay a hefty price for one mistake.
Boyle has shot even-par a couple of times. That red number will inevitably come.
