The Walker Cup was won this year by Hamish Duguid.
This AC competition is a one day event, open to players with handicaps of 10 and over. The format chosen for the day was a flexible Swiss, the winner being decided by the highest percentage of wins from at least 4 games. Games were 18 point, with a time limit of 1 hour 30 mins, plus an additional 1 minute per bisque. Standard handicap rules applied. Tie break criteria were advised in advance of play.
There were 9 entrants and all but two of them completed 5 rounds by close of play, with one keen competitor managing 6. Fortunes fluctuated as the games progressed but the final outcome produced a clear winner.
