GOLFING prospect Lee
McIlear cemented his
position as top junior at
Awali Golf Club. The Audi
Junior Series consisted of
eight rounds in which Lee
picked up first place in all six
that he entered.
With some excellent
scoring throughout the
weeks and standing strong
against the competition,
McIlear headed into the final
stage facing a challenge from
fellow 12-years- olds, Luc
Garrett and Faris Jafar.
Garrett pulled out his best
score in the series to pip
Jafar to second place, no
mean feat as the latter had
been a consistent performer
and never outside the Top 3
places.
There was more good
news for Garrett as he also
took away the prize for the
‘most improved player’
after lowering his score by a
massive 22 shots throughout
the eight rounds.
“A huge thank you must
go to Awali Golf Club, Audi
Centre Bahrain and, of
course, to the parents for
their support of Junior Golf.
It’s been a fantastic start
to competitive golf for the
juniors and I’m excited to
see how it develops for the
2018/19 season,” said head
professional Rory Young.
