English Schools' Golf Association
Waddington and Buchanan emerge as Under 16s Champions
Sam Waddington of Balshaw C of E Academy in Cheshire and Mariella Buchanan, from Blackwell School in Gloucestershire, yesterday saw off strong fields to emerge as the English Schools' Under 16s Champions at the superb Lincoln Golf Club.
Sam, who plays out of Leyland Golf Club in Cheshire, scored rounds of 75 and 76 to beat Jack Dirkin in to second place by one shot. Mariella, with a wonderful opening 69, backed it up with a second round 74 to beat the field by 7 strokes. Runner-up was Emily Dixon, a home schooled pupil from Orsett Golf Club in Essex. Sam and Emily will now go on to represent England Schools' against the Welsh in early September at Stoke Rochford Golf Club in Lincolnshire (Mariella had already qualified through her performance in National Under 19s event a few weeks earlier at Stanmore)
