Mark Holton has claimed the 2018 Major Singles at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club after winning a tightly contested match against Richie Northcott last Saturday.
The players were level on five shots each after eight ends before Northcott took a 14–7 lead after thirteen ends.
Holton took the lead on the 17th end and did not relinquish it.
Northcott put up a great fight and was only one shot behind at 22–21. But after another 10 ends Holton achieved the 31 shots required to run out a worthy winner over a gallant Northcott.
