A look back at the two most recent TP Tour events at Royal Ashdown Forest and Stoneham Golf Club

October 15-16 Royal Ashdown Forest

The historic Royal Ashdown, one of England's quintessential heathland courses, stands in comparison with the best and most scenic courses in the United Kingdom.

The Old Course withstood torrential rains prior to the 36 hole event - but a delay was not necessary, a testament to its qualities. The field contained former England internationals, Walker Cup players, Senior Tour players and many other top professionals for the TP Tour's fourth visit to Ashdown.

The eventual winner of the first prize of £1200 was first-round leader Jay Taylor, who made up for a triple bogey eight on the par-5 10th hole with three back-nine birdies, including a great three on the par 4 17th.

The TP TOUR Tour Championship takes place at Walton Heath's New Course on October 23, where the Order of Merit Champion will be crowned.
