SHERGO WINS ON EUROPEAN TOUR

One of Jordan’s big hopes for competing at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020 has again underlined his huge potential with a win on the European Junior Golf Tour.

Shergo Kurdi turns 13 on Monday but has enjoyed a fantastic late summer run of form which has now included top spot in the Euro event held at Windlesham Golf Club in England.

Shergo shot a 76 to take the title from Justin Chan in second and Kalyan Reddy in third.

“I am really happy with my form,” said the youngster. “I have had a successful few weeks where I have gained a third, second and first in the Surrey U16 events and also won over in Venice by seven shots. I am really pleased with the way things are going.”

The UK-based Jordanian is now training hard for the Order of Merit Grand Finale taking place at the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club on September 25.
