South African Aldrich Potgieter withstood a stirring comeback from Sam Bairstow to claim a dream win in The 127th Amateur Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes. In the 36-hole Final over the Lancashire links, the 17-year-old secured a nail-biting 3&2 victory over the Englishman in the 36-hole Final to become the youngest winner of The Amateur since Matteo Manassero triumphed in 2009 aged 16.
