Berry secured a spot in the finals for a second year running with an impressive second place finish.

He carded a superb round, playing a series of impressive shots that belied both his age and handicap.

He matched eventual winner Calum Steele by carding the same final score. The pair were only separated by countback which fell in Calum’s favour by one less shot on the back nine.

Berry plays in men’s medals and other men’s tournaments at Doncaster Golf Club.
