The big names started breaking records at the men's golf interprovincials. Canterbury has won two big wins.
They joined Wellington, Auckland and defending champion North Harbor, all of whom found the form they needed to compete in this marathon event at the Clearwater Golf Club in Christchurch on Tuesday, which set up an exciting weekend.
Although defeated by Wellington in the morning, the overnight sensations, Manawatū-Whanganui moved on to another positive note after defeating a powerful Waikato group to keep their district at the top of the table. The champions of 2013 have not passed yet, but it is clear that this team is looking forward to being back in the running.
After a grueling semi-final with Wellington on Monday, Canterbury regained his composure after defeating Waikato 3-2 in the morning, followed by a dominant victory over Poverty Bay-East Coast.
