17 July 2018

Europe’s most popular golf destination welcomed 58 young golfing stars to Vilamoura for the highly-anticipated Dom Pedro Junior Masters

The Dom Pedro Victoria Course came alive at the weekend as it played host to inaugural Dom Pedro Junior Masters, featuring 58 young golfing stars from all over the world.

In a first-of-its-kind event, the Dom Pedro Group hosted eight nationalities of junior golfers in total, from America to Europe and the UK, showing the global appeal and interest this tournament garnered.

The tournament invited any young player up to 18 years old to enter and competitors were then split into five age categories. After a spectacular two rounds of golf, prizes were awarded by gender for the first three places in each of the five categories. The overall Girl’s competition was won in remarkable fashion by Rita Costa Marques scoring 140 and the overall Boy’s winner was Lucas Azinheiro, also with an impressive 140 total.

The Junior Masters provided a special event, bringing young golfers from all over the world, together in a wonderful atmosphere conducive to building friendships and incredible sportsmanship.

The world-renowned Dom Pedro Victoria Course was showcased in all its glory. The Par-72 Championship layout, designed by golfing legend, Arnold Palmer, provided a challenging but fair test of golf with water and cleverly-positioned bunkers posing a constant threat.

Speaking about the inaugural Dom Pedro Junior Masters, Luis Correia da Silva, CEO Dom Pedro Golf said, “We are thrilled with the success of the very first Dom Pedro Junior Masters; I believe it is always of importance to offer exciting events for young golfers to come together and inspire this next generation of talented golfers.

“To have a diversified field, not exclusive to Portugal, is a huge triumph for the tournament and we hope to grow on this even more in years to come.”

After an extremely successful inaugural Dom Pedro Junior Masters, Dom Pedro are delighted to announce the championship will be returning to the Victoria Course for the 2019 edition on the 3rd-5th March.
