GOWER'S LEE HAS DOUBLE CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION

17 June 2005

Gower teenager Lee Lewis has enjoyed two memorable weeks and can now look forward to a summer of golfing contentment. The 18-year-old, who reached the final of the Welsh Boys Championship at Carmarthen last summer, won the second Glamorgan County Union Order of Merit event - the Gower Gauntlet - taking advantage of local knowledge.

Scores of 77 and 72 for a 149 total gave Lewis a two-stroke victory over Langland Bay's Mark Gorvett with Alec Kissick, another Gower member, a further stroke back in third place.

That performance fired Lewis into contention for the Order of Merit title after Brent O'Neil had won the opening event of the season - the Neath Bell.

Then, 48 hours later, Lewis was named in the six-strong Welsh side for the European Boys Team championship at Monticello, Italy next month - just reward for a series of excellent displays over the past year.
