Scottsman Harper, a member of Archerfield Links, ended on a five-under, the same total as Justin Evans, as both men then replayed the 18th hole on the final day of the Ladbrokescasino.com Masters, which was held at the Selsdon Park Hotel and Golf Club in South Croydon, Surrey.

Harper had started the third day on four-under but his hopes of winning the tournament looked to be slipping away when he hit a double-bogey six on the 384-yard par-four seventh. But he turned things round with three birdies in four holes - on the 12th, 14th and 15th – but a bogey on the 17th meant he would be competing in a play-off.

A putting average of 25 putts per round over the 3 days proves a fantastic reward for the hard work the flying scottsman has put into this part of the game recently.
