Downes Crediton Club Professional Barry Austin enjoyed some success last week winning the Devon Professional Golfers Championship at Teignmouth Golf Club for the second year in succession.

With fog causing a disruption to play and a reduction of 36 to 18 holes Austin scored a fine four under par 65 consisting of 14 pars and four birdies that saw him tie with Paul Hendriksen of Ivybridge Golf Club.

A four hole play-off was then required to separate the two which after three tied holes in pars Austin eventually prevailed as he parred for the fourth time whilst Hendriksen bogeyed.
