WOODHAM Golf Club’s Carl Morfoot landed the top prize as Durham’s exciting competition for young golfers reached its dramatic conclusion.
The 2013 Mizuno Race 2 Rockliffe has seen up and coming golfers from across the region competing in 15 different events to score points on an order of merit.
The leading 30 players across the three categories qualified for the grand final at Rockliffe Hall, which saw 19 year-old Morfoot come out on top in the gross event and be crowned the DCGP Mizuno Race 2 Rockliffe Champion for 2013.
On a day when the damp and windy conditions made scoring tricky, Morfoot, who plays off one, returned a score of 79 to claim the championship by two shots to add to his success in the mixed gross category of the order of merit. He received a £500 voucher towards equipment from Mizuno, enthusiastic supporters of the event alongside Rockliffe Hall.
Morfoot has now embarked on a degree in Applied Golf Management Studies at Birmingham University and hopes to become a PGA professional in the future.
Registrations for the 2014 Race 2 Rockliffe open in the new year with a full list of the dates and venues of the qualifying events appearing on the Durham CGP website www.durhamgolfpartnership.com
