Dominic's win on Algarve helps put
Aboyne on the national golfing map
NEWS RELEASE
Aboyne Golf Club is celebrating after
one of its young players, 19-year-old Dominic Bradburn, put the club firmly on the national golfing map by winning the Titleist Footjoy Match-play championship in Portugal.
Dominic, who is in the second year at UHI Dornoch studying for a Golf Management degree, won three consecutive eliminating competitions across the North-east before securing his place on the Algarve this week
by winning the Scottish regional qualifier at Irvine Golf Club.
Played at the Vale do
Lobo resort near Faro, Dominic
competed in the four-round Stableford finals this week against the eight other regional
low-handicap qualifiers.
Dominic said: “It was the first time I
have entered the competition and a real surprise and honour to qualify from
Scotland and represent my club and country. To then go and win the final in
Portugal against some very competent golfers was unbelievable.
"The setting at
Vale do Lobo was amazing and the courses were tough, requiring a lot of course
management, particularly the third round which was played in atrocious rain and wind.
"I managed to hold it all together and was delighted
to secure the title. It is such a great
feeling and I have received unbelievable support from Aboyne Golf Club and my
fellow golfers in the North-east.”
Tournament director David Hughes said:
“The tournament attracted over 1,000 entrants from across the UK. Dominic played extremely well over the four rounds at Vale do Lobo, scoring 31, 34, 32 and 34 for a total of 131 pts which earned him the title by seven points from his nearest rival.
"He handled the pressure very well and has a bright future. We are delighted for Dominic and hope to see him back next year to defend his title.”
