Wowor wows with playoff win on Glacier Series
The final tournament of the 2014 Glacier Junior Series will take place at Mossel Bay on September 21
MODDERFONTEIN Golf Club’s Eric Wowor claimed victory in the George Coetzee Tournament on this year’s Glacier Junior Series at Pretoria Country Club on August 31.
The 16-year-old posted a 73 to tie with Werner Deyzel, and then took the title on the first playoff hole and with it a spot in the Glacier Junior Series Final at Zebula in October.
This was Wowor’s first tournament on the Glacier Junior Series since he finished second in the Els Family Tournament at The Els Club, Copperleaf in June.
“The round went quite well. I was hitting my drives and irons quite nicely. My putting wasn’t as great as I wanted but I managed to hole some of the crucial putts,” Wowor said.
The final tournament of the 2014 Glacier Junior Series will take place at Mossel Bay on September 21. The national final, featuring all the A division winners this year, will be played at Zebula from October 9-11.
