Alexandra Rock, a 13-year-old, who travelled from the Czech Republic to compete, chipped and putted the final green to win the 2017 Stonham Junior Players Championship title by three shots and retain the title she won in 2016.

Alex who lives in Prague, is a member of Podebrady Golf Club and amazingly now has a handicap of five. In second place was the 2015 winner, 11-year-old Charlie Goodridge from Bury St Edmunds, who scored 32 (3 over par).
