“It was a tough course as I can’t reach some of the holes, but I shot three-under my handicap so overall I was really pleased with today’s round,” he said.

“It’s really good going for all of us, I am a little bit annoyed because my dad beat me by so many but I am just here to enjoy myself because I will have plenty more years to play in this competition.”
