After the success of last year's inaugural Ping Pro-Am, 18 Golf Monthly readers, along with six Ping European Tour players, headed to Centurion Golf Club in Hertfordshire to compete in the 2014 event.

The format remained the same, with 3 readers joining up with a professional to do battle over 18 holes at one of the UK's most exciting new golf resorts.

The Ping professionals were European Tour winner Tom Lewis, Golf Monthly playing editor Andy Sullivan, Matthew Nixon, Simon Wakefield, John Parry and Matthew Baldwin.

The readers were also given the opportunity to sample Ping's new G30 range prior to the start of the tournament and take a look around the Ping Tour Truck.

Sullivan shot a round of six-under-par, which included 7 birdies and an eagle, but his team didn't figure in the final standings.

At the end of play, it was Baldwin's team who came out on top with an impressive 116 points, 9 points clear of Wakefield's fourball.
