Gritty Vaudin survives second 21-hole thriller

TWO multiple champions each face a golfer with the credentials to follow in their footsteps in this evening's Island Championship semi-finals.

Another night of dramatic matches yesterday ended with an intriguing pair of last four encounters as top seed Bobby Eggo progressed to face Garry McFarlane, while Nigel Vaudin will square off against Steve Mahy.

Yet again the story of the round was provided by Vaudin. Less than 24 hours after he and Jamie Blondel were involved in a epic 21-hole battle, the man from the Royal was taken to the same lengths by Danny Bisson.
