Henderson will play in Faldo final

Neil Henderson, a former Scottish Schools champion from The Glen Golf Club, North Berwick, claimed a spot in his second Faldo Series Europe Grand Final when he won both the overall and the Boys’ Under-21 prizes at the Faldo Series UK Championship at The Roxburghe near Kelso.

Henderson, a student at Old Dominion University in the USA, put together rounds of 73 and 69 for an impressive 2-under par total of 142. That gave him a three stroke victory over Craig Ross (Kirkhill) and Simon Fairburn (Galashiels) for the overall prize and a four shot win over Daniel Kay (Dunbar) and Andrew Wallace (Glenbervie) in the Boys’ Under-21 event.

The victory at The Roxburghe earned Henderson a place in the 2010 Faldo Series Europe Grand Final, to be staged over the Faldo Course at the Lough Erne Resort, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, on September 21-23, where he will be joined by Boys’ Under-18 winner Ross, Boys’ Under-16 winner, Ewan Scott, and by Alison Goodwin and Lesley Aitkens, who won the Girls’ Under-21 and Under-16 events respectively.

It will be Henderson’s second appearance in a Faldo Series Grand Final, having previously won the Under-18 title at the Faldo Series UK Championship at The Roxburghe back in 2007.
