Major Open Champion!

At the NZ Congress in Auckland in January, quite a few of our members had fine performances, but none more so than our veteran star Ceferino 'Jun' Isaac, who was joint first in the Major Open Championship! He was seeded 15th but finished on 7.5/9, tied with Alexander Hanrui Pan of Howick-Pakuranga CC.
