Lucas is Champion Again
9 year old Lucas Taylor scored a personal best of 36 shots for the nine holes to win The Junior Academy Summer Cup. This gave him back to back wins following his triumph in the Spring Masters back in May. 2021 has been a great year for Lucas so far as this win solidifies his position on top of The Academy Order of Merit and he is also currently lying second in the 9-hole Order of merit, just 1 point behind Freddie Hopkins. He needs to keep practicing smartly though as there is plenty of competition stacking up behind him, especially his 7-year old brother Jacob who is having a great season too. The surprise of the competition was Esme Chamberlain who won the girls event finishing ahead of academy favourite April Tian.
