Sherratt No 1 individual

Jordan Sherratt, a 21-year-old South Australian, won a place in this year's British amateur championship at Muirfield and North Berwick in June with a play-off victory over American Walker Cup player and world-ranked No 6 amateur Bud Cauley on the last day of the NEC Master of the Amateurs championship at Yarra Yarra Golf Club in Melbourne's sand belt.
Sherratt, who won the team title for Australia in partnership with Matt Jager, tied with Cauley on four-under-par 284 at end of the 72 holes.
Sherratt then won the sudden-death play-off at the first hole after Cauley drove into a fairway bunker.
England's Matt Haines and Tommy Fleetwood finished third on 586 behind Australia (571) and United States (575) in the team event. The English pair had an uphill battle after Fleetwood, winner of last year's Scottish open amateur stroke play title at Murcar Links, began with an uncharacteristic, error-strewn round of 83. He followed that with three rounds of 71 - but the damage had been done.
