Fisher was beaten to the
title by just one shot by
Paul Casey, himself a
graduate of the nearby
Foxhills Foundation.
"Ross is one of my
heroes, along with Tiger
Woods," exclaimed Ryan.
"To get an award from him
was brilliant. I'd love to be
like him one day."
Ryan first started playing
golf when his mum and dad
Patience and Raymond
took him to a pitch and putt
course. "I really love the
game and I want to try and
be the best I can possibly
be," added Ryan. "The
Wentworth Foundation is
great because you make
friends with lots of other
boys and girls who love golf.
You also get a lot of help
and I have a great coach
in Chris Hedderman."

Evans, who was attached
to Mill Ride Golf Club in
Ascot, told Golf News:
"Coming from Sussex, I
want to be the first golfer to
qualify for The Open from
Royal Ashdown. I used
to play there a lot as an
amateur and it's a course
I really like."
Entry to local
qualifying is free for
spectators, so head on

The evening's
entertainment ended with
an auction that raised
�25,000 for Carr's chosen
charity, with lots including
a mini Hummer vehicle
and lots of valuable West

A level par round of 72 at Moor Park Golf Club was good
enough for Chris Reynolds to finally land the English Men's
Seniors Championship. It gave him a 54-hole tally of 224 and
saw him finish a stroke ahead of his Littlestone clubmate
Andrew Stracey, who returned 77, and two clear of Andrew
Carman from Coventry with 76. Having finished second and
third in previous championships, Reynolds was naturally
delighted with his win at the famous Hertforshire venue.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to win my national title," he said.
"I'm also delighted that my clubmate Andrew was second.
It has been a great day for the Kent boys."
Reynolds began the day four strokes
behind Stracey and two adrift of Carman
and Geoff King from Essex. But that deficit
was soon overcome. A birdie-eagle start
gave Reynolds every incentive and he was
soon setting the pace for everyone to
follow. "I wanted to shoot 72, which
I felt would give me a chance, but
after that start I felt a really good
round was on the cards."
He had another birdie to
be four under through six
holes, but a double bogey
at the eighth, and a bogey
at nine, saw him out in 36.
Another birdie came at
the long 13th, but further
bogeys at 15 and 17
brought him home in level par.

Keen golfer Stuart
Morris is calling on fellow
enthusiasts to join him in
supporting the Meningitis
Trust at a fundraising event
being held at Sandford
Springs Golf Club in
Hampshire on July 3.
Stuart's daughter, Carys,

a full recovery and in
recognition of the support
the family received from
the Meningitis Trust Stuart
felt it was about time he
held a fundraising event
for the charity. He said:
"Holding a golf charity

fundraising event for me
to organise. We have
received fantastic support
from individuals and local
businesses and we even
have a car on offer as a
hole-in-one prize." For
