There were wins for Rowby John Rodriguez and
Luke Humphries in
Development Tour 19 and 20 as the youth tour draws to a close for another year with a new tour card holder as a result of these wins.
Rowby John Rodriguez started the day by winning the 19th tournament defeating Order of Merit leader Luke Humphries in a close 5-4 final. Humphries himself got to the final by defeating his brother Rusty-Jake in the Quarter-Finals a stacked draw that included the likes of Corey Cadby, Max Hopp and Dawson Murschell, the Canadian who is moving here full time who Humphries beat to get to the final.
Rowby himself got past Wessel Nijman, Irish tour card holder Steve Lennon before defeating Scott Dale to set up the final which he won.
Humphries gained retribution for this though by winning event 20, the Newbury player as a result of not only Van den Bergh not turning up due to WSOD Finals involvement in all events over the weekend but his final and win, won the Order of Merit for the year claiming a tour card in the process in a year where he has won 5 events.
He saw off Jake Jones in the final. He also defeated Toine Leidelmeijer, Terry Webb, William Borland, Dawson Murschell, Josh Payne, Adam Hunt and Saturday's Event 18 winner Ted Evetts on his way to victory with the latter players some of the best there are on the Development Tour.
