Default 2012 Tin Cup Feb 11 Feb 12 Gold Coast

Who will win this Under 1750 Event : an up and coming Junior or an experienced Senior? I am betting on a Senior!

No one has ever won the Tin Cup twice in its history BUT that is about to change!

I remember the year they didn't let me play this event because I was rated 1751 The year I won it, ironically, there was a state election on and I remember the morning of the second day of play Andrew Fraser (before he had been elected to state Parliament) hammering up signs around Paddington. He ended up winning, although not in the Tin Cup. Will be interesting to see if he holds his seat.
