WILDE ANTICS CLAIM FALDO SERIES WIN

Tom Wilde from Bourne End produced two late birdies to clinch the Faldo Series UK Championship at Hollinwell Golf Club in impressive style.
Following a first round score of 69 in the fifth UK Championship of the season, 20-year-old Wilde produced birdies at the 16th and 17th holes in the final round to finish on five under par and win by two.
The boys’ under-18 category produced an equally dramatic finish with Leicester’s Greg Eason, 17, emerging victorious at the first extra hole of a sudden death play-off.
Supported by The R&A, the European Tour and the PGA, all of the age category winners from Hollinwell will now travel to the Faldo Series Grand Final in Brazil. Nick Faldo will host his 13th Grand Final at Itanhanga Golf Club in Rio de Janeiro from October 28 to 30, giving all participants the opportunity to meet and draw inspiration from the six-time Major winner.
