Herman, Kenning triumph in Palm Grove tournament, Cook Islands

The final round of the Palm Grove Golf Tournament last Saturday saw most of the second round leaders maintain their positions, but there were some good fight-backs during the day. In the senior men’s division, James Herman (212) extended his lead with the round of the day of 70 off the stick and win first prize, with Ned Howard (218) coming in second overall. Maara Kenning (243) extended her lead in the senior ladies’ by one stroke to gain first place ahead of Tuaine Marsters (249), with Margaret Taio not having a good day and slipping back in the field. For the intermediate men, first place went to Bruce Manuela (241) who improved his lead over second place getter Henry R Henry (245). Tai Raina and Jackie Urlich both carded the same score on the day so the placing remained the same for the intermediate ladies – first Tai Raina (275) and second Jackie Urlich (276).
