David Westwood (Little Aston) and Karl Smith (Handsworth) won the 2025 Midland Senior Pairs Championship at Handsworth Golf Club on 10th June by the narrowest of margins with a count back victory over Steve Sansome (Rothley Park) and Graham Marshall (Kirby Muxloe) who both finished on 67. However, both pairs had a back nine of 33 but Westwood & Smith finished with 4 birdies in the last six holes for a back six of 19 compared to a back six of 21 for Sansome & Marshall, despite an eagle on the last. Third place was the Worcestershire pairing of Duncan MacPherson (Worcester Golf & Country Club) and Lee Richardson (The Worcestershire) with 68. Charles Banks (Stanton-on-the-Wolds) and Tim Clarke (Hollinwell) took 4th place with 69. Early clubhouse leaders Roger Neale (Hallmark The Welcome) & Simon Timmins (Copt Heath) were eventually deposed of their early lead to finish 5th on 70, equaled by Enville pairing of Mike Deeley & Rob Stevens. Four more pairs finished on 71 headed by Jon Harris & Jonathon Haynes for 7th place. 8th were Belton Park pair of Adrian Allen & John Duke, followed by Burghley Park pair of Thomas Breheny & Jim Scutt with 10th place going to Oswestry’s Scott Harris & Mike Jones.
Best net of the day was the Burghley Pair of Thomas Breheny & Jim Scutt with a 63, just one ahead of gross champions Westwood & Smith on 64, just edging out Sansome & Marshall again on countback.
