Jack Brown (Brampton Heath) finished in a tie for 14th position in the English Under-18s Championships at West Lancashire GC.
The 2013 county champion carded three consecutive birdies on the back nine in an opening 74, before comfortably making the cut with the help of an eagle on the second hole in a one-over-par 73.
Brown moved further up the leaderboard with five birdies in a third round 71, but he slipped back on the final day as he couldn’t find the birdies in a closing 76.
Overstone’s Harry Woan didn’t feature in the shake-up for prizes following scores of 73, 75 and 78, but he did have cause to celebrate on the last day after bagging a hole-in-one on the third hole in a 76.
Woan said: “It was my fifth hole-in-one and four have been in competitions. I’ve had two at Overstone and two more at Northants County, so this is the first one outside my home county.”
