JACK'S THE LAD AT FALDO SERIES FINAL
NEWS RELEASE FROM FALDO SERIES
Jack Singh-Brar of England posted a final round 72 to win the sixteenth Faldo Series Grand Final by two shots at Lough Erne Resort in Northern Ireland. It was a double success for England as Rochelle Morris won the girls overall title.
“I
feel very happy about the result; especially knowing how Rory McIlroy
and Yani Tseng’s careers took off following their success in the Faldo
Series,” said an elated Singh-Brar. The win has changed how I feel about
myself, my life and my career as a golfer. Sir Nick Faldo is a great
guy – obviously I knew of him and his majors already but The Faldo
Series experience has made me appreciate his dedication to helping young
golfers achieve their best.”
“Jack
is a worthy champion having beaten our largest ever field,” commented
Sir Nick Faldo. “It is the support of our partners, including The
R and A, ISPS, the European Tour and Lough Erne Resort, that allowed us
to bring this level of opportunity to 84 competitors from 19 different
nations this week and to more than 7,000 young people in 28 countries
worldwide each year.”
15-year-old
Singh-Brar (Brockenhurst) carded one birdie and one bogey in a composed
level par round of 72 to finish on six over and two ahead of Rochelle
Morris and Scotland’s Ewan Scott (St Andrews) who won the Boys’ Under-18
title. Overnight leader Assaf Cohen, 18, who started one ahead of the
field and four ahead of Singh-Brar, struggled to a 79 and finished in a
tie for fourth.
17-year-old
Morris (Huddersfield) was crowned Faldo Series Girls’ Champion
following a final round of 77 in testing conditions. Sophie Keech (Lyme
Regis), 16, finished six shots behind but won the Girls’ Under-16
title, having come fourth in 2011. England’s Robert Busher (Salisbury
and South Wilts) won the Boys’ Under-21 title despite a stuttering
finish under intense pressure.
Faldo
Series Champions Singh-Brar and Morris will be offered a start in a
professional Tour event. They will also be invited by Faldo to the
seventh Asia Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in China next March,
as will Busher, Scott and Keech.
A
record field for a Faldo Series Europe Grand Final was in Northern
Ireland for the tournament’s sixteenth edition. 84 golfers from 19
countries joined the six-time Major winner at Lough Erne Resort for the
54-hole World Amateur Golf Ranking event.
