LOCAL golfers Jake Bolton and Jack Cope have helped England to win the Canadian International Junior Challenge for the seventh time with a dramatic charge over the last five holes of the championship at Wildfire Golf Club, Ontario.
Bolton, a member of Ogbourne Downs GC and Minchinhampton member Cope were joined by Danny Daniels and Kristian Tannum Donaldson.
They had trailed the hosts Canada over the first two rounds and with five holes left of the final round they were six shots behind.
But in a storming finish they overtook their rivals and won the title by a shot.
Cope birdied 14 and 16 to finish on level par. Bolton beat his Canadian opponent by two shots over the closing holes.
In addition Bolton finished third individually on two-over, just two behind the leaders after scoring 73, 69, 76.
