Newport’s former British Amateur champion Paul Mayo fired five birdies in a round of 73 to win the South Wales PGA event at The Ashburnham Championship Links golf course at Pembrey on Monday.
Mayo’s one over par was two better than Richard Brookman, the Creigiau pro carding 75 to finish as runner-up for the second time in three tournaments.
In coming first, Mayo joins James Lee and Sion Bebb as winners of South Wales PGA competitions this season.
The next event is set for Tenby on February 20, when the organisation will also hold its AGM.
Organisers will be hoping for a better turnout there after a number of withdrawals at Ashburnham saw only first and second places being awarded prizes.
Despite that, Ashburnham club manager Huw Morgan was thrilled that his club could host one of the PGA’s events. “We are delighted to be playing our part in this revival,” he said.
“It’s great to see the professionals from different clubs in Wales getting together and playing quality courses.”

Ashburnham to welcome PGA members
The Ashburnham Championship Links golf course in Pembrey is playing its part in a revival of the South Wales PGA, Professional Golfers' Association.
Adam Constable, twice winner of the Young Welsh Professional Championship, is behind the project.
The Cardiff assistant is organising a series of medals events for the early part of this year.
"We are delighted to be playing our part in this revival," said Ashburnham club manager Huw Morgan.
"It's great to see the professionals from different clubs in Wales getting together and playing quality courses."
The first event is at Ashburnham Golf Club on February 6 (tee-off from 10.30-11.30am), followed by a visit to Tenby on February 20 (10.48am-noon) and Cardiff on March 7 (10-11am).
Constable, who is seeking entries from Welsh PGA members, said: “I am waiting for conformation of venues for two other fixtures. The last strokeplay event is likely to be the championship in early April and there will also be a qualifier for the Graham Poor Matchplay.”
