Round Four of this year's Nomads Compass Series was blessed with a break from the week of stifling heat and wall to wall sunshine that had made every step of the course setting process an effort. An overcast sky threatened rain that thankfully turned out to be light and short-lived, and a fresh southerly wind proved a little too frisky for some.

Congratulations to top scorer Graham Cole on 55, followed by no less than five competitors on 54, and another five on 53. Scores below, on countback.
