Each event so far on the 66 Pro Tour has ended in a play-off, creating an exciting climax. Banks calmly rolled in a six-foot par putt at the par three 10th to win the top prize of £3000.

Runners up were James Ablett (Lee-on Solent), Chris Baron (Selsdon Park), Daniel Brooks (Mill Hill) and Jon Evans (Wentworth).
