JUNIOR GOLFERS ON THE WAY
TO THE USA
Finalists for the Nike Golf sponsored Daily
Telegraph / Center Parcs Junior Golf Championship 2001 announced
3 September 2001,
Following a successful four months of competition the talented young golfers in
the Daily Telegraph / Center Parcs Junior Golf Championship now know who will
be taking part in the 36 hole strokeplay final to be held at the stunning Cloister
Resort and Sea Island Golf Club, Georgia, USA.
Over 900 clubs registered
a qualifying event this year, well up on last years figure and the standard of
play has been consistently high, rain or shine. A total of 36,000+ girls and boys
from throughout the UK took part in the tough qualifying rounds to win the chance
to travel to Georgia and that number is now down to the final 21.
All 21 finalists will be
kitted out from head to toe with Nike Golf apparel, golf bags, caps, club travel
bags and footwear so that they really look the part as they experience the thrill
of a major golf tournament. The leaderboard will also feature in the breaking
news section of the Nike Golf website (https://nikegolf.nike.com/nikegolf)
as if it were a Tour event.
The eventual winner will
be crowned The Daily Telegraph / Center Parcs Junior Golf Champion, following
in the footsteps of Justin Rose and Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart amongst others.
Topping the boys� leader
board are England�s Daniel Wardrop and Michael Nester both on a very impressive
six-under par. Scotland�s Laura Walker who plays at Nairn Dunbar finished top
of the girl�s leaderboard with an amazing four-under par � three strokes clear
of Danielle Rosebury of Durham City Golf Club in second place.
Fredrik Stenberg, European
Marketing Manager for Nike Golf commented, "The qualifying tournament has
been an overwhelming success and we have seen some great golf being played. Nike
Golf wishes the 21 finalists the very best of luck in Georgia and hope that they
all enjoy the experience of playing in a major tournament whether they win or
lose."
