In-form Bearsted golfer Matt Ford finishes sixth in the English Challenge

By Matthew Panting
Bearsted's Matt Ford completed a
memorable fortnight by finishing sixth in the English Challenge at
Colchester on Sunday.
Ford, playing his first European
Challenge Tour event of the year, carded a 13-under par 275 to bag
around £5,000 in prize money - just a week after a round of 59 in a
pro-am event.
"It’s my best finish on a Challenge
Tour event so I’m happy," said Ford (pictured).
"I’ve played between two and four
tournaments on the tour for the last four years trying to progress
but this was my first event this year."
Ford’s success has earned him an
invitation to the ECCO Tour Championship in Germany from August 19
to 22 and he is already due to play in the Wales Challenge in
Cardiff the following week.
He then needs to play one more
Challenge Tour event before the end of October to achieve an Order
of Merit ranking.
"It’s reasonably late in the season
so I’ll need to play well," he said.
"If I can do well then that should
allow me to get a ranking."
