58th LYTHAM TROPHY WIN FOR     WILL HOPKINS

The Belton Park golfer shot a final-round of -4 to set up a three-way play-off with Welsh duo Tomi Bowen and James Ashfield. The 24-year-old held his nerve to win in the three-hole play-off as he made a birdie on the 2nd after hitting a 185-yard approach to five feet for birdie.

After the four days of action, Lincolnshire’s Hopkins said: “I had a very shaky third round. I had to dig deep just to shoot 3-over. I sat with a sandwich and just told myself to go back to the basics of breathing, routine and rhythm. I reminded myself that Royal Lytham isn’t a golf course you can take on. I said: “Stay patient and let the opportunities come to you.”
“I hit a three-wood to eight feet (on the 7th) and that’s when I knew I was playing well. As I walked to the 11th green, I saw a leaderboard and suddenly I knew I had a chance.”
With four top-10s already this year, including 3rd at the European Nations Cup in Sotogrande, Spain, he added: “I had a chance to win in Spain, it just didn’t work out but I learned a big lesson. You’ve got to get used to those feelings and understand how you react. I’m very proud that when I had another chance, I took it.”
