- Huge congratulations to Frank Kennedy, who claimed the Portuguese Amateur Championship at Montado Golf Resort. Frank, who is 16, became the youngest ever winner of the event after rounds of 65, 69, 64, 71 (19 under par), which gave him for a four-shot victory. Added to that, he went wire-to-wire and set a new course record in the third round. Frank works with Rob Watts, one of the leading coaches Beta testing Clippd. Olly Huggins, a member of the England men's squad, finished T6 with rounds of 72, 66, 69, 71, while Austria's Florian Schweighofer was T11.
- In the Magical Kenya Ladies Open, the opening event on the 2022 Ladies European Tour season, both Cara Gainer and Lily May Humphreys made the cut in tough conditions at Vipingo Ridge, where only two players in the field finished under par for the tournament.
- On The Challenge Tour, Jonathan 'Jigger' Thomson finished 8 under par at The Dimension Data Pro-Am, firing a second-round 65 in his opening tournament of the season. The event was played over three courses at the acclaimed Fancourt Golf Estate in South Africa. After a superb 2021 season on the EuroPro Tour, Mitch Waite made a solid start to his Challenge Tour campaign, finishing a further shot back at 7 under par.
- In Turkey, in the first of the 36-hole Gloria Super Series tournaments on the Clutch Pro Tour, Harry Goddard of Trinifold Sports shot a final round 65 to finish T7, while Michael Bullen completed a rare full set by recording 18 consecutive pars in his opening round!
- In the US, Seattle University teammates Jack Rahon and Nathan Cogswell had a fast start to the Spring season with a fine T2 at the Orange County Collegiate Classic at Coto de Caza in California. They finished on 219, three over par, to help the Redhawks to 4th place in the team event.
Well done all and the very best of luck to everyone who is competing this weekend.
Josh & Dan
