Mick Collins Secures 10th in Round 2

By Rossa McDermott

Four birdies in Round 2 of The Pandora 2009 Open saw Michael Collins of FORE Ireland finish in tenth place at the Burhill Golf Club south of London. His blistering pace on the second day places him four shots off the joint leaders, Oliver Turnill and Daniel Gaunt.

Mark Staunton had a tougher day at the office and remained one under for the round after a mixed round of four birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey on the Par 4 10th leaving him lying in 23rd place over night. It was an unfortunate return for his day’s work having made the turn in one under par and hoping to build on his result on the first day.

On signing his card Mick Collins could only rue his bogey on the seventeenth following three consecutive birdies on 11th, 12th, 13th and then again on the 16th holes, having made the turn in one under. All in all it was a solid round of golf placing 10th over night.

The PGA EuroPro Tour is a men's developmental professional golf tour. It was created in 2002 by the merger of two older development tours, the EuroPro Tour and the PGA Mastercard Tour and is based mainly in the United Kingdom, with a few events in other countries.

Burhill Golf Club is set in beautiful Surrey parkland with a luxurious Georgian Mansion serving as the clubhouse on a course that is steeped in history and dates back to 1726. The Golf Club was established in 1907 by the Guinness family.
