England Boys’ Squad star Aaron Moody enjoyed his first ever hole-in-one en route to winning The Berkshire Trophy.
The 17-year-old from Surrey enjoyed 21 birdies and four eagles over the course of the four-day tournament, to help him finish on 271 (-16), five shots ahead of his nearest competitor Cole Self.
The first two rounds of the 72-hole event were played over Berkshire Golf Club’s Red and Blue courses, with the final two founds played exclusively on the Red. A total of 162 players entered, with a half-way cut reducing the field to 49.
Moody, who fired rounds of 67,66, 68 and 70, said: “It’s unbelievable to get the win, but I was feeling confident coming into it as I’d had some good rounds of late. It’s definitely my biggest achievement to date.
“The putter got hot on the first day, and I played solid golf on the final morning and the hole-in-one on 10 this afternoon really helped.”
The Burhill golfer made his hole-in-one from 190 yards with a 7-iron on the par-3 10th, and admitted: “Sadly I lost the ball a few holes later!”
Asked about celebrations, he added: “I had a very nice cheeseburger and a coke to celebrate! But I’m now focusing on the Brabazon Trophy at Moortown this week.
“Although The Berkshire Trophy would be too big to fit in my bedroom, I get a lovely engraved silver salver which will fit nicely on my bedroom shelves.”
