Accrington Observer Golf Trophy

HOLDER Paul Biggins admitted he is more nervous this year as he defends his Observer crown.

"There is a bit more pressure this year," said the Accrington golfer who saw off Gary Byrne in last year's final.

"People expect more and you put a bit more pressure on yourself. I was nervous when I was teeing off."

Biggins began the defence of his crown in the second round and got through his clash with C White. He now faces Rossendale's P Cross in the third round.
