GOLF
Milton youngster Thomas Peachey played well in the company of DP World Tour professional Harry Hall at the BMW PGA Championships at Wentworth.
Peachey (12) won a qualification event to play in the Pro-am which preceded the main event and he was supported by large contingent of friends, family and Milton members. Father Darren acted as caddy for Thomas.
Peachey was praised for his play by Hall and his caddy Fanny Sunesson, who earned fame carrying the bag for Sir Nick Faldo. His team finished in the top 10 of an event won by American Brooks Koepka, John Terry, Robbie Fowler and Sam Quek. The local lad was also delighted to meet RYder Cup star Shane Lowry. Hall went on to finish 13th in the PGA event.
The Elton Furze Captains Charity Day Any Pairs Betterball competition raised an impressive £1,828 from raffle & donations for the Captain's chosen Charities: Teenage Cancer Trust & Alzheimer's Research UK.
