PINNACLE ORDER OF MERIT
WESTGATE DOUBLE
Ben Westgate (Trevose) captured the Welsh Amateur Championship at Royal Porthcawl when he defeated Ben Enoch (Truro) in the final by 4 and 3. Westgate collects 250 Pinnacle points. The victory was very sweet for Westgate having finished runner up in 2007 to Llewellyn Matthews. The Championship victory confirmed Westgate’s position as winner of the Pinnacle Order of Merit for 2008 following three tournament victories during the season; Trubshaw Cup, Tucker Trophy and now the Welsh Amateur Championship.
Ben Enoch (Truro) who finished runner up to Westgate collects 150 Pinnacle points and finishes the season in 3rd place on the Pinnacle list. Craig Evans and Adam Runcie who both lost in the semi finals collect 100 Pinnacle points each
