Ffion Leads Way For Wales’ Golfers In English Open

Top golf prospect Ffion Tynan led the way for Wales to finish fifth in the English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship.

The Pontyclun teenager finished on level par – six strokes behind winner Annabell Fuller of England at Burnham & Berrow Golf club.

Tynan, who has won a golf scholarship in Arkansas, carded rounds of 69 and 74 before finishing with a 73 and 72 on Thursday’s final day.

Her tally left her just one stroke behind the English duo of Lily May Humphreys and Caley McGinty who tied for third place.
