ENGLAND QUARTET WIN HONDA INTERNATIONAL
WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP IN JAPAN

The teenage quartet of Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Haines, Gary King and Eddie Pepperell gave England yet another overseas victory when they won the Honda International World Junior Championship in Japan over the weekend.
Going into the third and final round at the par 71 Wild Duck Country Club in Nikkawa, Kamisu City, the England team led by six strokes but doubled that to finish on a collective 17 under par.
England beat the team from Thailand by 12 shots with Korea third, 20 strokes back.
Fleetwood, from Formby Hall Golf Club, won the individual title in an all-England play-off with Haines, with an eagle at the first extra hole after starting the day two strokes behind his team mate who is based at Rochester & Cobham Golf Club.
All four England Boys shot under par on the final day over the 6,977 yard course, Pepperell (Drayton Park) finishing tied fourth and King (Tyrrells Wood) equal eighth.
Phiphatplong Naeosuk from Thailand was third on 207. The England team learned a lot about playing golf in Asia and were better than the local players, which promises well for next year’s World Boys Team Championship in Japan.
