South African teen Martin Vorster revels in Baltray glory

South African teenager Martin Vorster became the second youngest winner in the history of the East of Ireland Championship when he closed with a brace of five-under 67s to win by four strokes from Carton House’s Paul O’Hanlon at County Louth Golf Club.

At the age of 17 years, four months, and 12 days, he was just seven days older than last year’s winner, his close friend Christo Lambrecht, who is also a product of the Louis Oosthuizen Academy.
