The quality has been in no way diluted either, with already four time winner and course record holder Tony Lambert toeing the line once more. However, this year he has formidable opposition not only from last year's runner up Kairn Stone from Torbay, but also from two Kenyans brought in by the sponsors, Mizuno. Another Kenyan lady will, inevitably, have a big say in the ladies race.
