It's a big congratulations to Wayne Tedford from Portrush (pictured right). Wayne who is also a talented current Northern Ireland Blackball Pool player, has just won a prestigious Open Golf Tournament.
He ripped up the form book to win the North of Ireland Amateur Open Championship in style at Royal Portrush. The 26 year old defeated pre-tournament favourite Paul Cutler in front of a delighted home crowd.
Wayne has never been past the early rounds at the North of Ireland before but this time he was more composed than his experienced opponent.
As part of his preparation he had been playing regular rounds of golf on the Dunluce course with his dad Jackie and during the tournament he was able to call on help and advice from his caddy Chris Langford.
Since winning the North of Ireland Championship he has been rewarded with a call-up to the Ulster squad.
Wayne is traveling to the Isle of Man for the EBA European Pool Championships with us next week. We in the NIPA congratulate him on his win and wish him all the best in the future playing for Ulster.
