NEWS RELEASE
Robert Busher of Salisbury and South Wilts Golf Club was victorious
in the Faldo Series UK Championship at Old Fold Manor Golf Club in
Barnet.
The 20-year-old, pictured, was competing in his sixth Series event in as
many years and was delighted to make his first final after two level par
rounds of 71.
“I
can’t wait to meet Sir Nick and compete at the Grand Final,” said
Busher who will compete in the World Amateur Golf Ranking event at Lough
Erne Resort on September 11-13. “It's extra special because I’ve been
playing on the Series for so long.”
“I’ve
never seen anyone roll putts on our greens as well as Robert did this
week,” added Peter McEvoy, Head Professional of Old Fold Manor.
Jack Singh-brar (Boys’ Under-16) from Bramshaw and Nick Ward (Boys’ Under-18) of Brocket Hall booked their places in the 16th
Faldo Series Grand Final, to be hosted by six-time Major Champion Nick
Faldo at Lough Erne in Northern Ireland. They had rounds of 72 and 71 respectively.
Two
other age group winners heading to Lough Erne are Gabriella Cowley
(Girls’ Under-16) of West Essex and Amber Ratcliffe (Girls’ Under-21). Sixteen-year-old Ratcliffe will be looking to go one better than her second
place finish in the 2011 Grand Final.
