Argentina Junior World Champion

The Argentine Team won the TOYOTA World Junior Golf Championship last June in Japan. Players Leandro Marelli, Jorge Fernandez Valdez, Tomas Cocha and Andy Schombaun were coached by Jorge Morgan as Team Captain and Martin Bartolome as Team Coach. It is the first time our country wins the competition, where the previous best performances were two 4th places in 1998 and 2005 (where European Tour Player Tano Goya was part of the team).

This win is a huge event for the golf in our country, not only for the development of local golfers but also for the rest of the world to know that Argentina has not only great golfers but also great golf courses. We believe this may be the starting point for a great performance at the 2010 World Amateur, which will be held in Argentina at olivos Golf Club & Buenos Aires Golf Club.
