Harley Smith of England finished a distant second at 6-under after carding rounds of 78-71-65-68, while fellow Englishman Daniel Hayes, the 2024 England Boys’ Order of Merit winner and a Louisiana State University commit this fall, secured third place at 5-under with rounds of 71- 71-69-72.

The English team, led by Smith and Hayes along with Elot Baker and Thomas Osborne, extended their dominance by capturing their 13th European Nations Cup title—an impressive tally that puts them nine wins ahead of Spain, which has claimed the title four times since the event’s inception in 1998.

Baker, who recently won the Portuguese Amateur Championship, and Osborne, the 2023 Yorkshire Amateur Champion, were also the key contributors to the team’s commanding performance.
