In the boys’ division, Riley Lam from Pennant Hills Golf Club maintained a brilliantly consistent result across two days with an even par scorecard despite wild weather. His early advantage pushed him away from competitors, including The Australian Golf Club’s Blake Cranston, who finished his campaign at +5.
Lam’s success was his second win at Catalina’s course, having previously won the 15 Years division at the NSW Junior Championship.
