NICOLAS VAN DER VYVER REINS SUPREME AT THE STRAND JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
A beautiful day was forecast for the Strand Junior Championship with the prospect of thrilling golf.
Nicholas van der Vyver ran away from the field using his local knowledge. He started off hot, making five birdies on the front nine for a 31. He continued his solid round with a one under par back nine for a total of 6 under par. He won by 5 shots over his brother, Andries van der Vyver, who shot a 1-under par 71.
Vincent Venter was back in the winner’s circle in the U/15 division. Putting two solid nines together, he carded a two-over-par 74. Codi Ruiters finished runner-up with a 75, just one shot behind the winner.
Alwyn Rossouw, fresh off a top four finish at the Nomads SA U/13 Championship, proved to be a future alum by winning the U/13 division at Strand. His round of 73 consisted of three bogeys, 13 pars and two birdies, which helped him win the U/13 tournament by two strokes over Damian Zervas.
