Sandy On World Hickory Win: It Got "My Ticker Going"
/Richard Watt of the Courier catches up with World Hickory winner Sandy Lyle and even a former Masters and Open Champion who is still very competitive as a senior admits to still getting nervous down the stretch.
From Watt's report:
“It’s been a very good experience which certainly got my ticker going, especially over the last two or three holes of the last round, which were very nerve wracking.”
Presenting the award, Lionel Freedman joked that Lyle had won another Major.
Professional Andrew Marshall from Norfolk tied for second with defending champion Paolo Quirici, a Swiss specialist in hickory golf.
Tad Moore sent some nice close-ups of the woods used by Lyle, including the Cleek. More works of art:
