ASHLEY Walton claimed the runners-up spot on home turf as Tim Shin won the Frilford Heath Gold Medal.

The prestigious event, now in its 64th year, attracted a field of 108 players with a handicap of five or below to play over the Red and Green Courses.

Heath’s Walton is a former winner, alongside former Walker Cup player David Frame and Eddie Pepperell, who won it as a 15-year-old.

But Walton had to settle for the silver medal, as Shin, from Castle Royle, near Maidenhead, carded rounds of 69 and 72 to win by five strokes.

  • GRAHAM Hart completed a hat-trick of Frilford Heath Seniors Championships.

The five-handicapper’s gross score of 77 was three better than Clive Brandham and Martin Lee, with the latter’s nett 71 winning the handicap prize.
