2023 Warwickshire Wonders

A field of 32 young boys and girls took part in the 2023 Warwickshire Wonders tournament on the par 3 course at Lea Marston GC.

Edgbaston’s Finn O'Callaghan, who won the nearest the pin on the seventh hole, bagged four gross birdies in a magnificent winning gross two-under-par 25 to finish five clear of Copt Heath’s Kamraan Arastu and Maxstoke Park’s William Hardy.

For the second consecutive year, Hardy compiled the best net score of 12 as the nine-year-old, who also won the boys putting competition, finished one ahead of Harvey Westall (Copt Heath), with Charlie Christopher (Stonebridge) and Thomas Halfon (Walmley) in third on 15.

The girls gross competition witnessed a remarkable finish as three players tied for the lead on 41 strokes. Erin Thompson (Copt Heath), Isabelle Toon (Stonebridge) and Lauren Clarke (Ladbrook Park) shared the honours.

Emilia Sadler (net 18) was successful in the girls net category as she finished three ahead of Moor Hall club-mate Seren Hylton, who won the girls putting competition.
