The field for the Brabazon is made up of exempt players and 60 who come through qualifying events. The southern qualifier was held recently and won by Ben Amor, from Marlborough, who set a course record at Liphook in Hampshire.

Amor carded six birdies and an eagle in his round of 65 and will hope to take this form into the Brabazon. He said: “This is a nice start to the year. It’s still early in the season and it’s nice to know my golf game is roughly where I want it.”
