Enefer stages last round charge in Germany
The
17-year-old from Wrekin in Shropshire finished the 54-hole event on
eight-under par and two shots behind the boys’ champion, Thomas
Roenmueller of Germany.
Enefer’s
finish kept him one shot ahead of the two players who shared third
place. They included Denmark’s John Axelsen – the English U16 boys’ open
champion – who also shot 67 in the final round.
Enefer
was in the mix throughout the championship. He opened with three-under
69 and was one shot off the lead; then a level par second round saw him
drop to fourth place and five shots back. But in the final round he
chased the leader hard and got to within one shot of him before taking
his only bogey of the day on the 15th.
England’s
teams also came second to Germany in both the boys’ and girls’ Nations
Cup events. The boys’ team was Enefer with Toby Briggs of Dunston Hall,
Norfolk, and Harry Hall of West Cornwall. The girls’ team was Sophie
Lamb of Clitheroe, Lancashire; Hollie Muse of West Lancashire, and
Lizzie Prior of Burhill, Surrey.
Muse,
15, led the way for England in the girls’ event, holding the lead after
two rounds and eventually finishing in seventh place on three-under
par.
The
championship was played in very warm weather, particularly on the first
day when the temperature reached 42 degrees. One of the England boys
had to spend an hour in the first aid tent after play, despite having
drunk 12 bottles of water and four bottles of apple juice during his
round. The coolest temperature during the championship was 34 degrees.
