Golf: Glading a winner again

Bob Glading, the oldest surviving New Zealand Open golf winner had more success on the final day of the event at Gulf Harbour yesterday.

Glading, 86, who won the Open in 1946 and 1947, entered an Emirates Airlines hole-in-one contest. His second attempt at the 80m target went in. That put Glading in the draw for a business class trip for two to Dubai with the airline, which he won.

Donations from the competition, in addition to a pro-am closest to the pin on the course's eighth hole, went to The First Tee, which introduces young people to golf.
