Laird Shepherd pulled off an unfathomable comeback on Saturday to win The Amateur Championship.
The 23-year-old Englishman was eight down after 17 holes and four down with four holes remaining, but defeated countryman Monty Scowsill on the 38th hole.
“It’s an amazing, amazing feeling. To come back from eight down through 17 holes, I mean I was honestly more concerned about not making an embarrassing record-breaking defeat. Monty played so good in the morning, so composed, and I didn’t really have my game. To turn it around was unbelievable,” Shepherd said.
"The last 18 holes I thought ‘I’m not going to win’, but at least I could get a few highlights that I can watch on YouTube one night!
