Loretto School Under 14 SGU Golf Championships
13 July 2010
Blairgowrie's Bradley Neil has successfully defended the Loretto School Scottish Boys U14s Championship (9th July) at a wet and windy Auchterarder with a narrow one-stroke victory in Perthshire.The 14-year-old, who finished second at the Scottish Boys U16s earlier this week, went one better to secure historic back-to-back titles. Neil recovered from an opening bogey to post an excellent two-under par round of 67 to win by one from City of Newcastle's Jack Hermiston.
In the Loretto School Scottish U14s Girls Championship, the title went to West Kilbride's Connie Jaffrey after she posted a tremendous two-under par 68 to edge out Clara Young from North Berwick by two shots.
Jonathan Hewat, Director of External Affairs at Loretto School Golf Academy, said:
"This year's event was excellent yet again on a fantastic golf course here at Auchterarder. It's great to see so many good young players here, from Scotland, England and a strong overseas contingent. The scoring was very impressive considering the tough conditions and really illustrated the strength of this championship."
"Loretto School is very proud to continue our support of the SGU and SLGA and congratulate both Bradley and Connie on their victories." Scottish Golf Union full press release
