ANDRIES VAN DER VYVER: CHAMPION OF ALL CHAMPIONS
The highly anticipated final of the Junior Series Championships was held at the Royal Cape Golf Club on Sunday, 13 October 2024. This was the ideal setting for the showdown between 16 elite juniors who earned their rightful spot at the Junior Series Championship.
Two players emerged as front-runners from the beginning, delivering outstanding performances: Andries van der Vyver and Henru Walters. On a course that demands control and strategic shot-making, both golfers showed incredible finesse, consistency, and poise.
Henru Walters made six birdies (holes 3, 4, 6, 7, 11 & 16) and two bogeys (holes 2 & 9). He shot 34 on both front and back nine, making his total 4-under (68). He kept himself in contention throughout the round by capitalizing on opportunities.
Andries van der Vyver, however, was the real star. Despite matching Walters’ six birdies, he only had one bogey to his credit, which determined the outcome. Van der Vyver began his campaign with a 32 on the front nine. (Birdies on holes 1, 5, 7 & 9). Van der Vyver was calm and composed as usual, not showing any signs of nervousness. His back nine included birdies on holes 10 and 16, and one blemish on hole 13. He finished with a 67, one shot ahead of Walters, and was crowned the 2024 Junior Series Champion.
The Junior Series ended on a high note!
