Golf: All eyes on Bull Bay prize

DOUBLE champion Adam Constable has an added incentive to win a third straight Welsh Open Young PGA Professional title after its prize fund was bumped up by £5,000 to £12,500.

The Cardiff Golf Club-based pro, who has dominated the Ryder Cup Wales 2010 sponsored event for the last two years, will be chasing a first prize of nearly £2,000 in the 36-hole tournament, which is making its debut at Anglesey's Bull Bay Golf Club this week (April 24-25).

The tournament is open to all PGA members and assistant pros under the age of 30 and offers entry for the leading finishers to the RCW2010 Welsh Open PGA Championship at Royal St Davids in August.

Local entries include: Carl Edwards (Birchwood), James Houghton (Huyton and Prescot), Michael Kanski (Hesketh), Joel Rodwell (Southport and Ainsdale); Rick Shiels (Mere); Barry Taylor (Houghwood).
