None of his fellow competitors in the final 'Queen's 100' had a better score than he did.
Disappointingly, however, he was unable to overcome his three-point deficit in the earlier Queen's II stage of the prestigious competition.
The eventual winner, Parag Patel, a Surrey doctor, equalled Mace's score at 900 yards, 74 ex 75. At 1000 yards, Mace beat Patel by a point with a maximum 75.
In Saturday's pouring rain, it was a magnificent final performance by Mace, but when the counting-out process began, the second stage score weighed heavily against him to give a final position of seventh.
