Champion Scarab (NZL) Murray Pharaoh |
Congratulations to no. 3 seed Murray Pharaoh (Wellington) who went one better than last year by becoming the 2003 NZ Champion. He followed up his stunning SF win over the reigning champion by thrashing no. 8 seed and World Junior runner-up Chris Hill (Gisborne) in the first NZ Final not to involve a player from Auckland. No. 6 seed Catherine Moxham (Palmerston North) beat no. 1 seed Matt Peek (Auckland) to finish 3rd. Cat is the first female player to be placed in four years of this event!
Links to all of the results and lots of other info related to this tournament can be found below. 20 players have played in this year's NZ Championship, 11% more than last year, but not back up to the number of entrants in 2000 and 2001.
