David Hunt, of Frilford Heath, is the Berks, Bucks & Oxon junior champion after winning a dramatic play-off for the title at Bearwood Lakes GC, Sindlesham.
The two-handicapper fired rounds of 79 and 71 to tie with Reading's Adam Glass on 150 as the pair finished two shots clear of a field of 60 golfers aged 18 and under.

In the scheduled three-hole play-off, the scores were level after two.
Hunt found the middle of the green at the third hole, while Glass, who won the Waterstock Junior Open earlier this month, flew his second over the green. Two putts were enough to give Hunt the title.
Playing nearly 6,900 yards from the back tees, scoring was high in the morning and only Matthew Haddy (Frilford Heath) and Stephen Lewton (Woburn) came close to par.
