JUNIOR golfer Ewan Humphries, from Enville Golf Club put on an exceptional display of golf at a qualifying event for the American Golf Junior Championship.

The Enville Golf Club youngsters made it through to the national final thanks to his fine performance at the qualifier at Droitwich Spa's Gaudet Luce Golf Club.

Humphries, who won the Upper Nett category, which allows players to compete who have a handicap of up to 54, played superb golf, scoring a very impressive 31 points off a handicap of 36.

He entered this year’s competition to play a new course and now progresses to the UK & Ireland final at Gainsborough Golf Club in October, which will be shown live on Sky Sports.

After seeing qualification come to a close, Matt Bacon, head of events at American Golf, couldn’t hide his excitement for the Junior Championship, saying: “Some of the best junior golfers in the UK & Ireland have played in the Championship over the past few years so I’m excited to see the boys and girls that have been here today taking the competition forward.

"There has been some incredible golf, all played in the best spirit of the game. It never ceases to amaze me how these young people perform under pressure, but more so, how they handle themselves in the heat of competition. From what I’ve seen and heard, every parent and junior coach can be very proud of their kids.”
