ONE of the largest fields ever for a Devon PGA Medal event met at the Exeter Golf and Country Club last week for the final event in the winter "Order of Merit" season.
The day was also a contest at the top of the OOM between leader Barry Austin (Downes, Crediton) and Ashley Moon (Okehampton), who trailed by eight points at the start of play. Although the main story of the day was their "heavyweight contest," other players were keen to play well, and fight for, the final spots on the "Ryder Cup" style teams to represent the County later in the year.
