Daniel Hayes Targets US College Golf After Order of Merit Triumph
BRAMHALL’S Daniel Hayes won the England Boys’ Order of Merit after a fantastic season and finished third in the Men’s Order of Merit.
His stunning year saw him win the Carris Trophy and finish tied second for the Brabazon Trophy, picking up the George Henriques Salver for the leading under-20 player in the process.
He also won the Cheshire Cat, Lancashire Links Trophy, and South East of England Links Championship.
Representing GB&I and England
The 17-year-old also represented GB&I in the Jacques Leglise Trophy and represented England in the Men’s & Women’s Home Internationals, Junior Golf World Cup, and European Boys’ Team Championship.
Hayes Reflects on a Breakthrough Year
Hayes revealed:
“It’s nice to see my hard work has paid off in both the Boys’ and Men’s OOM.
“I didn’t have a great start but became more and more consistent throughout the year, which helped in a lot of the boys’ events that were four rounds or matchplay events.
“This year I’m hoping to push on, playing overseas more, and in the bigger men’s tournaments, ready to go to college in the USA in August 2025.”
