JENKINS' JITTERS SNATCH DRAW FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY
The 2020 Tanglwyst Cup, �TC X', took place over 1-3 October. In the midst of a pandemic, the playing of these matches had been at significant risk but thankfully with some last minute logistical tweaks, the matches went ahead as planned. The course line-up was arguably the strongest ever and for the first time in many years the weather didn't spoil any of the rounds. It would prove to be the closest TC in history, with no session won by more than a point on any day.
The Pitch & Pots, took the overnight lead on day 1 with the pivotal moment of the day coming from the 17th hole when the Chameleon's no. 1 pick, King, inexplicably shanked his approach out of bounds to hand his opponents a 1 up lead that would not be surrendered.
Day 2 Foursomes proved even tighter, with two matches making it to the 18th. The Chameleons would get the better of those closing hole exchanges to tie the session and restrict their overnight deficit to 3.5 vs. 2.5. The final round singles matches proved to be the most dramatic seen at a Tanglwyst Cup. With the Chameleons leading in 5 of the 6 matches early in the back nine, they looked set to become the first team to come from behind and win a Tanglwyst Cup. However, The Pitch & Pots fought back valiantly and once again it would come down to the 18th hole.
Three matches made it to the 18th, with the Chameleons winning the hole in those first two matches to leave the score at 5.5 v 5.5 with only one match and one hole to play. Davidson and Jenkins would both find the fairway from the tee but leak nervy approach shots into bunkers. Jenkins thought he'd won it as his bunker shot missed the hole by an inch and ran out just beyond �gimme' range. Davidson followed with a quality bunker shot of his own but missed the par putt to leave Jenkins with the chance to claim the match win and overall team victory. Sadly for The Pitch & Pots, Jenkins was left slumped over his putter as the putt failed to hit the cup and the match was drawn. The Pitch & Pots had gone down the 18th hole six times in three days and failed to win the hole on any occasion. Amongst the drama, Cooke recorded an incredible third consecutive hat-trick and became the first person to claim Player of The Year twice.
