BY COLIN THORSEN

Teenager Tyler Wood is the youngest member to ever win the senior men’s champion- ship in the 86 year history of Ngahinapouri Golf Club. The 15-year-old wrote his name into the record books beating Matthew Smith in the final, 8/7 on the 29th hole. Wood flexed his muscle off the very first tee, winning the hole with a par five enroute to being 5-up after 18 holes. He was never headed at any stage of the contest. The former junior club champion broke through for his maiden senior champion- ship with rounds of 71 and 72 on the par 72 course.
