Baxter Completes Shoalhaven Double

RONNIE BAXTER claimed back-to-back victories in the Shoalhaven Classic with a 7-3 win over Charles Losper in Sunday's final.

Baxter defeated Robert Thornton to win Saturday's Shoalhaven Classic I, and repeated the feat 24 hours later - with the Scot once again amongst his victims.

Thornton went down 5-2 to Baxter in the quarter-finals of the event, while Russell Stewart was defeated in the semis.

South African star Losper - the 2007 South African Open winner - overcame Phil Bottrell, Daniel Sim And New Zealander Warren Parry in the later rounds to reach the final of the event.

Bottrell's run to the semis matched his achievement on Saturday and puts him top of the William Cross Pro-Am Order of Merit, for Australian and New Zealand players on $500.

Stewart sits second on $310, with Brian Roach and Paul Nicholson on £190.
