SLIDESHOW: New champions crowned at Lee Westwood Junior Championship
The tournament, backed by PING and promoted by the Worksop Guardian, is now in its 19th year.
And although Westwood himself couldn’t make it due to this week’s major in America, his mum Trish was on hand to dish out the trophies and prizes.

Taking home the pretigious silverware were new champions Amelia Wan and Kyle Thorpe.
Rufford Park junior Wan won the Stableford trophy thanks to her haul of 42 points, pipping Retford’s George Cordell and Worksop’s own Rebecca Oates by one and two points respectively.
Thorpe, a Worksop Golf Club member, shot a 75 gross to lift the Scratch trophy.
He was one shot better than Luca Durrant of Sherwood Forest and three shots better than Sitwell Park’s Lewis Brannigan.
