Mackay and Gruber were locked on scores of 81, both still equal with halves of 39 & 42 and the separation came over the final six holes, Mackay, and despite a bogey six at the 18th , scoring 27 against the par of 26 and Gruber 28.

In addition to the confined silver medal Mackay also won the Milburn Challenge Trophy with again Gruber the runner up. Tracy Laughland (Morton hall) third with 82.
