Playing early on the day of record temperatures seems to have paid off with the first two places going to Tamas Ladacs (38 pts) and Gina Jillett (36 pts) who both teed off at 8.30 – though they will have finished their round in the heat of the day. Certainly the heat seems to have got to many of the rest of the field such that the CSS went up by two and thus awarding both Tamas and Gina with handicap cuts. Results…
