NICK FALDO SERIES GRAND FINAL REPORT AND LEADING TOTALS

Zach Bauchou and Sir Nick Faldo.

AMERICANS BAUCHOU AND KHANG 

WIN BOYS' AND GIRLS' TITTLES

NEWS RELEASE 
  Zachary Bauchou from Forest, Virginia edged out Simon Zach (Czech Republic) in a dramatic sudden death play-off to win the 18th Faldo Series Grand Final at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, USA. Bauchou birdied the 18^th to force a play-off with Zach and then clinched the title with a tap-in par putt on the first extra hole.

Defending champion Megan Khang (Rockland, Massachusetts), who competed in her second U.S. Women’s Open earlier in the year, made it a double success for the U.S. by retaining the girls’ overall title.

“This victory means so much to me, I would like to thank the PGA of America and Sir Nick for giving me this amazing opportunity,” said Bauchou, who recently committed his future to Oklahoma State University.

 “The amount of time that Sir Nick personally puts into this week is amazing and the international experience that I have gained from playing in the Grand Finals that he has hosted in the U.S and China has really helped me progress as a player.”

“Zach’s victory caps an amazing week which has seen us bring together 83 young golfers from 20 countries around the world,” said Sir Nick Faldo. “The players are getting better every year and I am excited about the future as we continue our effort to grow the game of golf globally through the Faldo Series.”

Rohan Boettcher held off a strong challenge from England’s Charlie Strickland to win the Boys’ Under-16 Division. 

The 15-year-old Brazilian qualifies for the 2015 Faldo Series Asia Grand Final along with Bauchou and Khang, who will also be offered spots in a professional tour event, and Pauline Del Rosario who completed a unique Faldo Series double by adding the Girls’ Under-16 prize to the same age division title she won at Mission Hills, China last March.

There was some consolation for Simon Zach who  won the Boys’ Under-18 division to become the first Czech winner of a Faldo Series title. The 18-year-old can look forward to a second Asia Grand Final appearance in March, 2015.
