Reigning Nomads SA Boys Under-19 Stroke Play champion Deon Germishuys continued his remarkable year with an international victory in the 8th Grandover Junior Amateur on the Tarheel Junior Tour in the United States. The 18-year-old from Strand edged compatriot Nikhil Gopal from Victoria Country Club in KwaZulu-Natal to make it a GolfRSA 1-2 finish.

The two Bridge Fund Managers Junior Series finalists competed in the event as preparation for the 40th Junior North and South Championship, which is currently on the go – see live scoring here.

Germishuys won the 2018 Nomads SA Boys Under 19 Championship, the Nomads Inland NOOM 1 and the Sanlam SA Amateur Championship earlier this year, and has risen to 4th in the SAGA ranking. He also won the Nomads SA Boys Under 19 Championship in 2016.
