Winners of the PING Welsh Junior Tour came from all round Wales for the final celebration of a season which saw more than 100 junior players take part.
The final will took place at Builth Wells, with 78 golfers from around Wales earning their places at that, but the Order of Merits had already been decided by the six events held round Wales through the season.
Sam Matthews of Swansea Bay came out on top in the Under 14’s category, holding off the challenge of Tredegar Park’s Tristan Poole, while Llantrisant and Pontyclun pair Geraint Barnes and Dylan Jones were third and fourth.

“It has been great to see so many young players enjoying the PING Welsh Junior Tour this season, with the top 78 invited to round things off at the finals,” said event organiser Daniel Fullager.
“It is also nice to see that 13 girls won their way through to the finals, while there were 34 clubs around Wales represented in all, which shows the strength of junior golf at so many clubs around Wales.
“We could not have run such a event without our sponsors PING and the support they give Wales Golf.
“We also relied on the help from the clubs which hosted our regular events through the summer and of course Builth Wells who hosted the final.”
