Two chances to rewrite the script. Buckle up, because this final stretch is where heroes are made… and excuses get creative.

TEKNOBU TIGER ANALYSIS
The Tiger’s Take: Mark Balls Big Move!
Mark Ball (Q Financial) (139pts): Mark has vaulted into 12th place with 139 points after a sizzling round at Preston. With his worst counting score now at 32, he’s carved out a credible route to the Final Four — but it’s going to take a big one to get in.
Mike Birchall (152pts): Stalled ill clinging to top needs to put in a performace at Prestbury or he could disappointed after a stella year, slipped in 2nd place.
Brian Boys (157pts): Steady, relentless, and scoring like he’s allergic to bogeys. A model of consistency with three 40+ rounds — I would be as bold to say that Brian has booked his place!
Robin Raymond (147pts): Has been lurking in the shadows all season, but don’t be fooled — Raymond’s got firepower. One big final flourish could see him take the crown. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. No fireworks — just dogged consistency under pressure.
Matt Watts (MB Promo) – (152 points): Equal on points with Mike Birchall, and also quietly putting together a season of frightening consistency. Just 5 points off the lead… this could go nuclear at Prestbury.
Tiger’s Tracker – Chasing hard and its anyone’s Game!
- Colin Elliott (142), Steve Sewell (140), David Griffin (142) Danny Woods (142), Steve Potter (141) – all within a decent wedge shot of the top four.
- Andy Knight (135) & Mike Lythgoe (140) Gareth Hilton (140) – consistent performers who just need one explosive round to flip the script.
- Paul Johnson (133), Steve Bate (133) – not out of it. Not by a long shot.
- There are 20+ players who, with three solid rounds, could blow the leaderboard wide open.
Yes — YOU might be one of them.
Here’s the score they need at Prestbury to qualify, assuming the rest of the leaderboard holds:?
In other words? Mark Ball needs to channel his Preston form and fire a serious number at Prestbury — a 40-pointer could launch him straight into the Final Four conversation.
Defending Champion Watch
Martin Rayner, now on 136 points, is still in the mix — but the pack is hot on his heels. A big round could still drag him back into contention, especially if several frontrunners wobble.
The Teknobu Tiger will study the numbers, the last three events who is in form and forecast the final four, who do you think has what it takes, who can deliver at Prestbury?
