Jack Cope showcased his exceptional golfing talent to secure victory in the prestigious English Amateur Championship, defeating Lancashire’s Callan Barrow in an impressive final at Woodhall Spa Golf Club, Lincolnshire.

Throughout the final, Cope’s consistent ball-striking and precision putting set him apart. After quickly establishing a strong lead—at one stage being six holes ahead with just nine remaining—Jack held his nerve and closed out the match with a comfortable 4&3 win, clinching the title with three holes to spare.

This achievement places Cope among an illustrious group of past champions, including golfing legends such as Sir Nick Faldo, Tommy Fleetwood, Danny Willett, and Paul Casey.

Reflecting on his victory, Cope said, “It’s been a gruelling week, and the last two years have been challenging both personally and professionally. I’m incredibly proud and grateful for this moment, and I believe it marks a significant step forward in my golfing career. I’ve always believed in my ability, but producing it under pressure is what truly matters.”

Cope credited his consistent ball-striking and skillful putting for the victory. Having built a commanding lead of six holes after 27 played, he ultimately secured the championship with three holes remaining.

Jack also expressed gratitude for the support from his family, coach Russell Covey, and Gloucestershire County Union.

The victory represents an exciting milestone for The Players Golf Club member, with hopes high that this triumph will propel him to further success on the national and international stage. Cope added, “I always knew I had the ability; it’s all about delivering when it counts, and this win proves I can do exactly that.”
