Bolton wins Berkhamsted Trophy

07 April 2025

England Golf Men's Squad member Ben Bolton returned to winning ways with a two-shot victory in the Berkhamsted Trophy at Berkhamsted Golf Club on Saturday.

Over the course of the four rounds, the 17-year-old shot level-par overall, including -3 in each of his first two rounds, to see of his nearest competitor George Saunders by two shots.

England Golf Boys' Squad member Harry Cox finished a further shot back in tied-3rd alongside Bryn Thomas, while another England Boys' player in Charlie Rusbridge was tied-9th.

Another Englishman in Harry Thomas, enjoyed a hole-in-one on the 11th on the first day and later finished tied-6th.

After getting another victory under his belt, Bolton said: "It was definitely a tough week. Going into the week I wasn’t hitting it very well and wasn’t feeling great so it was nice to find something after talking with the coach, just going back to the old swing feels. It helped me get back into the groove.

"I had two good rounds to start but my last two rounds weren’t great – my putter went cold and I started missing a couple of greens. But it feels really nice to be able to win when I’m not quite on form. A win is a win so I’m feeling confident and looking forward to seeing how I can get on in the French Boys’ Championship.”
