FOUR youngsters who won at the Faldo Mini Series junior tournament at Stonham Barns on Sunday go forward into the draw to meet Nick Faldo at Celtic Manor at the Series Junior grand final.

There were some good scores on the scenic nine-hole Stonham Barns course.

Lee Spurling returned from Leeds to win the under 12 section with a score of two over par 31.

One shot behind was Kyle Proctor from Fynn Valley.

Jack Forgan of Stowmarket and Macaulay Margetson of Rookery Park were third equal on 38.

Proctor, Forgan and Margetson are all involved in the Suffolk Golf Union under 12 coaching scheme.

Stonham Barns regular David Huggins won the under 10 section while his younger brother, Troy, won the under sixes.

Troy's score of 55 included a birdie two at the 105 yard seventh hole, a great achievement for a five year old.

Seven year old Jude Everett won the under eights with a score of 43.

He has made progress under the coaching of Tony Dobson since his success in the Wee Wonders event.

Golf Direct Stores at Stonham Barns and Tony Dobson sponsored the prizes.

It is open to any boy or girl under 12 last January 1.
