TADMARTON Heath pair Andy Greig and John Stubbs are one step away from reaching the Lombard Trophy final at Gleneagles.

Greig, a six-handicapper from Banbury, teamed up with Stubbs, who has been Tadmarton's PGA Professional for eight years, to win the club's qualifying competition with a nett 67.

It was the first stage of the PGA National Pro-Am Championship, which is the biggest of its kind in Europe.

Greig and Stubbs will now move on to the regional qualifier at Little Aston, near Sutton Coldfield, on May 29.

They will face teams from 70 other clubs hoping to claim one of 16 places in the 36-hole grand final in September at Gleneagles.

It will be held on the PGA Centenary Course, which hosted last year's Ryder Cup.
