1A. Last competitor (4,6) B-C- --R-E- I'm assuming it is BACK something.
First letter of second word is also first letter of golfer (5) --D-E. Any assistance gratefully received.
Thank you, everybody. Unfortunately 'Back Marker' means the golfer begins with an 'M'. I think, therefore, that the answer to 'Statement of principles' must be 'Credo' rather than 'Creed', making 'Moore' a possible solution to the gowfer.
