Former North Oxford member Mark Rummings is homing in on playing in the USPGA Championship after an impressive victory.
Rummings won the North Florida PGA Championship at Eagle Creek in a play-off after shooting rounds of 70 and 68 for an eight-under-par total of 138.
This victory put the IMG Leadbetter Golf Academy instructor in the top 312 out of 28,000 players vying to make the major championship in 2010.
Rummings pocketed $4,000 for the win and also qualified for the 2010 Professional National Championship in French Lick, Indiana.
Meanwhile, Drayton Park’s Eddie Pepperell reached the quarter-finals of the Argentine Amateur Championship in Buenos Aires.
The 18-year-old, from Abingdon, lost out to eventual winner Romain Wattel (France) 6&4.
