Well known local junior, Jordan Garner, has won his way into the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final to be played at Mission Hills Shenzen in March 2016 following a more than impressive performance in the Faldo Series Australia Championships played recently at Castle Hill Country Club.
Played over 3 rounds Jordie returned scores of 74, 70 and 66 on the testing par 72 course to take out the under 18 title and to finish only 3 shots back from overall and under 21 champion, Samuel Nashaar of Castle Hill. Who knows what might have happened had there been a 4th round as Jordie's trend line was the direct opposite of Samuel's (64,70,73).
In all there will be 5 representatives from Australia playing at Mission Hills with Jordie and Samuel being joined by Chris Fan (boy's under 16 winner), Lucy Harris (girl's under 21 winner) and Amy Chu (girl's under 16 winner) and I am sure that all of the kids, but especially Jordie, take our very best wishes with them for a great tournament in March.
Jordie has certainly lived up to the expectations of some of the hard heads on the Coast and there is little doubt that he has a very big future in golf in front of him.
