Harrison Worley proves a hit at 3 Hammers

The 15-year-old's four-under-par 50 was the best score ever recorded in the annual tournament. Worley led home a number of winners for the host club.

Some 84 young players from around the region – the highest number of entrants during the four years the event has been staged – descended on the Coven course to battle it out for honours.

His superlative round was just enough to edge out Great Barr's Archie Munn, who finished a shot further back in the 13-15 years category.

Elsewhere, there was drama in the 6-8 years category, with 3 Hammers' Ronnie Groves beating Jack Tomlinson in a sudden death play-off after both had completed the 18-holes in 66 shots.

Jayden Phipps, who had been 6-8 years champion during the first three years of the competition, made it four successive years with silverware.

They won the 9-10 years age group with a level par round of 54 – eight shots clear of 3 Hammers club-mate Jensen Berridge.

The same score was enough for Harvey Roberts to claim success in the 11-12 years group, though his margin of victory was far smaller, with Hagley's Hugh Adams just two shots further back in second place.

Hammers junior captain Will Dunn won the most senior category, for 16-18-year-olds, thanks to an impressive two-under par 52 which put him four shots clear of Trentham Golf Club's Danny Worsdale in second.

The tournament was held on the complex's specially designed par three course, with each hole an average of 90 yards in length.

Sponsors American Golf handed out more than £2,000 in prizes including the trophies, along with season tickets and driving range balls.

Sam Hill, assistant golf manager at 3 Hammers, said: "This was the fourth year we have held the tournament and this was the biggest yet.

"It was really encouraging to see so many players turn out – drawn from all over the region – and there was some excellent golf played.

"Harrison's round was superb and shows you the standard some of these junior players are at.

Even in the youngest age group we had a play-off, the course is different to many in the region and you have to be able to play different types of shots.

Hill added: "The tournament started as a chance to give junior players more competition and the 84 players we had enter this year was up from 65 last year. Next year we hope to have more than 100."
