West Australian Jarryd Felton has been rewarded for his excellent form with elevation to the Golf Australia national squad.
Felton, 19, of Gosnellls Golf Club in Perth’s southern suburbs, is expected to surge well inside the top 50 of the world amateur golf rankings when they’re updated on Thursday after his impressive showing in the Australian Amateur Championship in Sydney last week.
After qualifying eighth through the strokeplay phase at The Lakes and The Australian golf clubs, Felton fell to eventual finalist Tyler Hodge 1-down in an epic matchplay contest.
But it’s his extended run of good form, especially in professional events, that has prompted Golf Australia’s high performance director Brad James to promote Felton to join Lucas Herbert, Ryan Ruffels, Cameron Davis, Zach Murray, Shelly Shin, Brett Coletta, Cory Crawford and Antonio Murdaca in the nine-strong national squad.
