TOP hole ... Alan Clark receives his prestigious Amateur Order of Merit European Masters award.
He's the champ, that's an order
11/12/2002
GOLFER Alan Clark has been crowned Europe's number one amateur after scooping first place in the season's finale at Quinta do Lago in Portugal.
Castle Hawk member Alan, who plays off 20 handicap, locked horns with qualifiers from across the continent in the prestigious Amateur Order of Merit European Masters.
He competed in the Division 4, 21-36 handicap category, and qualified after carding an impressive 19 under par for four rounds. He held his nerve to finish three-over par after the final 36 holes.
Alan was delighted to take the trophy and said it was an honour to play his European counterparts on one of Portugal's top courses.
Craig Dyce, PGA European Tour Courses general manager, said: "The tournament was played with great spirit and camaraderie. Alan played some fantastic golf. We are committed to helping this wonderful European competition grow in future years."
