Shadbolt, Lewis, Towler are

the boys for Brazil

NEWS RELEASE ISSUE BY THE FALDO SERIES ORGANISATION
The Faldo Series 2009 has teed off with the first of its UK Championships, held at Walton Heath Golf Club.
The competition attracted some of the region’s best young golfing talent, not least of all the eventual winner, 21-year-old Tom Shadbolt, from Luton, who returned an impressive seven under-par score of 137 for 36 holes.
Tom Lewis, 18, of Welwyn Garden City, carded an identical score but Shadbolt’s lower second round of 68 gained him outright first place.
As a result of their efforts, Shadbolt and Lewis, along with the other winners from Walton Heath, will join Nick Faldo at the Grand Final in Brazil later this year, where they will have the opportunity to meet and draw inspiration from the six-time Major winner.
