Nick Dougherty, a 15-year-old from Lancashire, confirmed his growing reputation as one of Britain's most promising young players by winning the Canon UK Junior Championship at the Hertfordshire Club yesterday. Dougherty produced rounds of 68 and 70 to tie with the Welsh youngster Adam Delves, but claimed the title at the first hole of the sudden death play-off. Delves had earlier set a new course record with his opening six-under-par 64.
