Kinnear rises to the challenge

ENGLAND international Paul Kinnear won the Crosby Challenge Plate, the
opening event in the Galvin Green Northern Order of Merit, at West Lancs
when no-one matched or beat par over 36 holes in testing conditions ,writes
DAVID BIRTILL.
The Formby plus-four ranked player strung together rounds of 74 and 73,
three over all told, to prevail by a stroke of Manchester's Joe Brice who
posted a brace of 74s.
Birdies were few and far between but Kinnear rolled in three in four holes
from the 10th in the morning then added two more early in the second round.
