CHRIS TAEWA REVIEWS THE 2024 POVERTY BAY EMERRE & HATHAWAY MEN'S OPEN
Tragedy overshadowed triumph as Mark Smith completed a successful defence of the Emerre & Hathaway Poverty Bay Men’s Open title on the Awapuni Links course on Saturday.
Years from now, Rotorua’s Smith possibly won’t remember a lot about his 4 and 2 defeat of William Brown in the Keiha Challenge Golf Cup Championship 16 final.
But he will never forget an emotional semifinal match against good mate and fellow Bay of Plenty masters representative Craig Van Der Nagel of Te Puke.
Overnight Friday, Van Der Nagel’s father Ian - known to most as Nagel - died in his sleep. A larger-than-life character, Nagel was known by many Gisborne people and was the brother-in-law of Awapuni Links greenkeeper Collin Jeffrey.
Van Der Nagel was drawn to face Smith - who beat him in the 2023 final - in Saturday morning’s semifinals after eliminating seven-times champion Waka Donnelly in the first round and local Marcel Campbell in the quarter-finals.
