John Parry will represent the English Golf Union on the Asian Tour in Vietnam later this month as a spin-off from his summer victory in Denmark.
When the 18 year old from Yorkshire won the Danish Amateur Championship after a three-hole play off against Mark Haagstrop of Denmark back in late July, he didn’t just collect the title and the trophy there was also an invitation to compete in the Asian Tour’s Carlsberg Masters in Vietnam.
The 72-hole stroke play tournament is being played at the Chi Linh Star Golf and Country Club near Hanoi from 17th – 20th November.
Parry, who will celebrate his 19th birthday on the opening day of the championship, is one of the most promising of young English golfers.
A former North of England Youth champion, the lad from Harrogate won the McEvoy Trophy last year with a record 12 under par 272 after four rounds of 68. He was also runner-up in the Carris Trophy and the Daily Telegraph Junior Championship and this year he has won the Yorkshire Championship as well as the Danish title.
His outstanding form has earned Parry promotion to England’s re-constituted Elite Squad.
