Comeback kid Garner so close to causing an upset

YOUNG Robbie Garner came within an inch of claiming a major scalp last night in the Intertrust Island Championship.

The Guernsey Junior team member even had his opponent, island player Matt de la Mare, apologising for denying him victory with a fortuitous birdie on the 18th that sent the pair down an extra hole before the man from the Royal prevailed.

But no matter the end result, it was still a remarkable performance from the teenager.
