EDDIE Pepperell is the star attraction at Oxford City’s Pro-Am at Southfield on Friday.

The European Tour professional, from Abingdon, will try to get revenge on the home club’s professional – his brother Joe – who beat him to top spot last year.

Meanwhile, Sam Jarman, from Woburn, kicked off the Berks Bucks & Oxon pro-am season at Drayton Park, Abingdon, in style, claiming victory with a one-under-par 69.

He finished a stroke clear of runner-up David Stanton with Jon Jones Scott Marshall and Jake Baldwin finishing third with a two-over-par 72.

In the team event, East Berks pro Jake Baldwin and his Drayton Park amateur partners Steve George, Patrick Sim and Nick Sanderson used their local knowledge to record a four-stroke victory.

Cara Gainer (Frilford Heath & Castle Royle) is the new Oxfordshire Ladies singles champion.

In the final at Tadmarton Heath, she beat defending champion Millie Anderson (Badgemore Park) by a resounding 6 & 4 margin.

Playing in North Oxford’s monthly medal, Chris Smith, a member for almost 50 years, achieved the club’s first hole-in-one of 2017 at the 133 yard 11th.

This was his third ace in a long career.
