Meanwhile, Wrekin Golf Club's Will Enefer was today hoping to break into the top 20 on the fourth and final day of the English Boys Under-18 Amateur Strokeplay Championships.
Enefer finished day three in tied 24th place after producing his best round of the competition.
The teenager managed three birdies in a one under par 71 at West Lancashire Golf Club after two rounds of 76. Italy's Lorenzo Scalise currently tops the leaderboard.
