Resident Cole Stevens finished 5th in the recently held Bobby Locke Invitational golf tournament.
The event which was held at Parkview Golf Club had more than 100 of South Africa’s leading amateur players in the field for the 36-hole championship.
The event commemorates the late Arthur D’Arcy (Bobby) Locke, whose four British Open Championships between 1949 and 1957, and numerous other wins in Europe and the United States, made him the second most accomplished golfer South Africa has produced.
In 1987, Bobby Locke died at the age of 69 in Johannesburg.
Stevens, who is a 2-handicap, sealed his fifth spot with a 73+73 for a 146 total.
This comes after a rather successful year on the coarse for Stevens.
Last year, he won prestigious titles such as the Curro National Schools tournament, the Ernie Els Golf Day and the Inter-Provincial Primary School Annual Tournament.This year he has claimed victory at the 2015 TGSE Junior Tour Event at the Bryanston Country Club among other victories.
In the invitational, Stevens was just a hair away from fourth positions Basil Wright.
The competitions victory went to Tyran van Lieshout with Tyan Dreyer and Douglas McCabe in second and third place respectively.
