Ryan took just 10 putts to complete the six-hole challenge in front of a large crowd on the show’s six-hole putting course.
Three youngsters fought their way through qualifying heats after entering a competition on BBC Radio London.
The 16-year-old from Potters Bar, in Hertfordshire, has been playing golf since he was four, but has never won anything like this before.
The Justin Rose fan will be off to Murrayshall GC in Scotland, later this summer, taking his mum Frances and younger brother Gregg for a four-day golf break, courtesy of VisitScotland. While north of the border, Ryan, who plays regularly at Potters Bar and Brookmans Park Golf Clubs will get lessons from head pro Alan Reid, before taking place in a challenge match with Scotland’s leading amateur Glenn Campbell, who plays off plus five.
Glenn, who was the Scots’ number one amateur in 2005, is in the Walker Cup squad for the Great Britain and Ireland clash with the Americans at Royal County Down in September.
He works as a greenkeeper at the club, near Perth, so will have home advantage.
Ryan, who plays to an unofficial handicap of six, was looking forward to his trip north of the border.
Surrey’s Jessica Sewell, 12, and Essex lad Louis Brown, 10, who won the other two age groups, did not go away empty handed, however. They each received four free rounds of golf for two from online tee-booking service TeeGenius at any one of the network’s hundreds of courses nationwide. |
