Rochelle and RossRochelle and Ross
An outstanding result today for Ross Stewart in Putaruru. Playing with Te Aroha junior Rochelle Van Heuven the pair punched well above their combined weights to take the runner up slot in Putaruru's Open 8B tournament ahead of many strong pairings. A creditable 54.36% in the morning was followed up with a superb 64.20% in the afternoon. They finished just a fraction off the top spot taken by Aucklands Alan Dormer and Anthony Hopkins. In joint third place were Hamilton second club members Henk and Hermanna Kalma, with Anna Kalma and Michael Neels.
