ISGA UK Silver for RGSAO
1 May 2009
RGS Worcester & The Alice Ottley School made Golf history last weekend (April 26/27) at St Andrew’s, as the dynamic school came second in the Independent Schools Golf Association (ISGA) UK finals.
Competing on the Fairmont St Andrew’s Pittocks Course as Regional Champions, the RGSAO team – Rudy Hercik, Jamie Hodges and Jake Payne – faced the very best UK competition and the elements to pull together and narrowly miss out on the team title and individual awards.
The best two gross scores from each team were added together to give the team score. This left RGSAO in second place at the end of day one, with a combined score of 159 (Hercik 76, Payne 83).
On the second day players went out in reverse leader board order. This meant that Rudy Hercik, the school’s number one, was in the final group. With a second round 74, Rudy came second in the individual competition by only one shot.
Jake Payne added a second round 82 to his first round 83 to give the school a final overall total of 315. This was good enough to beat two schools with golf academies -Millfield and Loretto - but not quite good enough to pip Wellington College to the title.
It was a magnificent achievement by the Worcester school in their first visit to the finals and an accolade that has put RGSAO golf on the national map.
The school has also now earned an invitation to next year’s finals.
