After beginning the year with three really tough sets, this one seems to have offered competitors a little respite, with around 10% of competition entrants registering scores in the 70s.
Standing out from the field this month, with a score of 79/80, is:
Dr Morrie Kleinplatz from Canada
Morrie is a clinical psychologist who has had a private practice for 45 years in Windsor, Canada. He is a Grand Life Master. Playing with Stephen Cooper (who was profiled here last month), he has won both the Canadian Seniors Championship and the Silver Ribbon Pairs in the 2008 NABC's.
