BIRCHWOOD Golf Club’s ex-European star Phil Archer had a great day at Swinton Park to clinch the Alliance Order of Merit title in style.

Archer set the pristine Park course on fire with a stunning round of nine-under-par to post a huge 45 points to take the individual pro prize from Tony Stevens (Davenport) 40 and Graham Cox (Lymm) 38.

Partnered by Phil Lockett of Poulton Park, Archer then cruised to a comfortable pro-am win with 47 points taking him clear of Graham Cox and Don Milligan (Cheadle) who edged out Tony Stevens and Charles Herbert (Styal) on a card play-off on 44 points.
