Mahy and Marley could clash in first round
THE draw for the first round of the Saffery Champness Men's Island Golf Championship has thrown up a possible repeat of the 2016 final.
Reigning champion Steve Mahy will get his title defence under way on Monday evening and he could find himself up against the man he beat in the showpiece occasion last year, Mick Marley.
However, Marley would have to come through a tricky preliminary round tie with Jason Savident on Sunday to set up that rematch with Mahy.
