Garrick Porteous is the 2013 British Amateur champion and one of the UK’s most exciting prospects.
His success at Royal Cinque Ports followed his triumph in the Scottish Strokeplay and runner-up spot in the Welsh Open.
Garrick, from Morpeth, Northumberland, represented Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup last year, while his amateur success gained him invitations for the 142nd Open Championship at Muirfield and the 2014 US Masters.
The University of Tennessee graduate, who is also a talented artist, capped a stellar 2013 by making his first European Tour start at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa, impressing everyone en route to tying for 14th.
