The Bridge Fund Junior Series was played at Benoni Country Club (BCC) on March 18.
The course was in superb condition for the event and local talent Ryan van Velzen, who won the club’s 2018 Club Championship recently, was again on fire on his home course.
After carding a 69 gross score over the 18-hole event Van Velzen found himself tied for the top spot with Victoria Country Club golfer Nikhil Gopal.
The two youngsters entered a sudden death play-off but, after four exciting holes, bad light stopped play.
Van Velzen was awarded the top honours on count-out.
The Bridge Fund Series is played over 18 events, where the winners of each event play in the finals, standing a chance to win a trip to play golf in the USA.
Fortunately for both players, the sponsors arranged that they would both be allowed to compete in the final due to the tie.
