MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The South African Golf Association (SAGA) has tasked GolfRSA National Squad member Martin Vorster from Mossel Bay to chase a 21st consecutive victory for South Africa in the prestigious All-Africa Junior Golf Challenge in Botswana in March.

Vorster will be accompanied by another Southern Cape golfer, Christo Lamprecht, from George and teammates Casey Jarvis and Sam Simpson.

Vorster and Lamprecht are both students of the Louis Oosthuizen Junior Golf Academy in Mossel Bay.

The winning team and the runners-up of this African qualifier for the prestigious Toyota Junior Golf World Cup, will compete against the cream of global junior golf in Japan later this year.

As reigning British Junior Open champion, Vorster captained the SA juniors to victory in Morocco last year.

He was also the star performer in Japan. He fired a 10-under 61 course record in the final round on the Ishino Course to help the GolfRSA Juniors to a top five finish.

Fellow Southern Cape junior Lamprecht makes a welcome return, having missed out last year to join the GolfRSA National Squad Tour to the United Kingdom and Ireland. The 2018 East of Ireland Amateur Open winner was a member of the victorious side who scored South Africa's 19th successive win in Zimbabwe in 2017.

"Martin and Christo have represented South Africa with great honour on the international stage and we are delighted to award Sam and Casey national colours this year," said SAGA president Geoff Taylor.

"We are excited to send this team to Botswana. All have acquitted themselves well over the past 12 months and made their mark with superb individual performances.

"They have also represented their individual provinces at junior and open amateur level in the SA Inter-Provincials and performed exceptionally well. We are confident the team will do us proud in Botswana."
