Andrew Green and Scott Manyweathers won both their matches as Canterbury began the national Masters tournament unbeaten in Napier.
Canterbury made a winning start to the New Zealand Freyberg Masters, beating North Harbour and Manawatū Whanganui on the opening day at Napier Golf Club.
The team secured a 4–1 morning victory over North Harbour on Monday, November 9, then followed it with a 3½–1½ win against Manawatū Whanganui in the afternoon.
Two From Two
Green and Manyweathers each finished with two individual victories, helping Canterbury complete the day without a team defeat.
Those results give Canterbury an encouraging start to a championship scheduled to run through Friday, November 13.
Tasman Next
Canterbury have a bye in Tuesday morning’s third round before returning to face Tasman in the afternoon.
The national event is contested in match play, with provincial teams bringing five players and a reserve. Canterbury’s opening wins provide a foundation for the remaining days, with their next test coming after the morning break.
