New Yorkshire under-16 champion Sam Jewell is aiming for the stars.

The 15-year-old Bradford golfer wants to be a tournament professional - and who's to say he won't be?

Jewell plays off three and captured his title with a marvellous second-round 72 at windy Driffield.

"I was three under par at one point but I had a bad first round," said the Menston St Mary's schoolboy. "I got away with it. They were tough

conditions and my driving was all over the place in the first round.

"Driving is usually the best part of my game - but I have sorted it out now."

Jewell, son of former City and current Wigan manager Paul, has now turned his attentions to the Bradford Boys' Championship at Baildon on Sunday where more than 120 of the best youngsters are vying for the under-18 title.

"I haven't really played Baildon much but I've been up to do my preparation," he said. "I need to know the course and the speed of the greens.

"I am playing all right at the moment but Alistair Houldsworth is probably the best junior in Bradford. But I am closer to him now - I'm looking forward to Sunday."

Jewell added: "I try to practise nearly every day. I would like to make it as a professional but I know it is a tough ask."

Houldsworth is most people's favourite for the Bradford title but he is having some problems of his own - putting problems.

The Keighley teenager struggled a little at last week's Yorkshire Boys' Championship and is now trying to

rectify his putting problems before Sunday. It's the last thing he needs because Baildon is tricky enough when you're firing on all cylinders.

"Baildon can be tough in the wind," admitted Houldsworth. "I played the course a few weeks ago but I got rained off - hailstones.

"I am struggling with my putting at the moment. It is the alignment. I am not lining up right."

Some of the teenagers in Sunday's

tournament have already played for the Bradford first team.

Houldsworth, Karl Smith and James Kelly all played last season and showed immense potential.

Organisers are praying for a fine day at Baildon. Even the best players will struggle if wind and rain send balls soaring into the unplayable bracken.
