\n He won the Amateur Strokeplay Championship in June, just weeks after teammates Dane Bairstow and Stephen Kennedy claimed the Inter-Club Fourball Championship.\n<\/p>\n

\n And now Brook, along with Paddy Gavin and Kasper Frey, has helped West Bradford to Team Championship glory at Branshaw Golf Club.\n<\/p>\n

\n The trio scored consistently to earn a four-shot victory over second-placed Baildon, with Brook delighted to earn more honours, after a rare disappointment for West Bradford.\n<\/p>\n

\n He told the T&A: “It\u2019s been a great year for me and it\u2019s good to win something with West Bradford.\n<\/p>\n

\n “We deserved it after our disappointing finish in Division One of the Scratch League, where we were top with two games left and ended up coming fourth.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It felt as if we\u2019d played well all season and got nothing for it, so it felt a bit like righting a wrong, winning something as a team.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Brook (+2), Frey (+3) and Gavin (+3) all played well at Branshaw<\/a>, with the squad looking stronger than ever.\n<\/p>\n

\n The former said: “Kasper joined us this year from Northcliffe and he\u2019s been a very good addition, a great team player.\n<\/p>\n

\n “We haven\u2019t had much of a squad to choose from in previous years, but it\u2019s more competitive now.\n<\/p>\n

\n “We\u2019ve supported each other throughout the season and enjoyed it.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Kasper and I ended up playing together on Sunday, so it worked pretty well in the end, with us keeping a team score between us.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Frey and Gavin had won in the foursomes together for the Bradford Union the weekend before, as well as in their respective singles matches, so they headed to Branshaw in good form.\n<\/p>\n

\n Brook said: “Kasper\u2019s got to know Paddy pretty well since he joined and they play well together<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n “On Sunday, Kasper and I got in and saw the scores, but Paddy was a few holes behind us.\n<\/p>\n

\n “When we saw him, on about the 12th hole, we realised he was four over for his round, but we knew he could afford to go to six over and we\u2019d still win.\n<\/p>\n

\n “There were a few more difficult holes out there, but we spoke to him coming up the last and he was three over, so we knew we\u2019d pretty much done it then.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Branshaw was in good condition, and we knew that from playing there earlier in the season for the Bradford Union (in a defeat to Halifax<\/a>-Huddersfield).\n<\/p>\n

\n “It wasn\u2019t as windy as we expected on Sunday, so there were some quite good scores coming in.\n<\/p>\n

\n “But it was still a tough test, as there\u2019s a lot of heather up there, so it was a case of trying to put the ball in the right place, which worked out well.”\n<\/p>\n

\n West Bradford had hosted the Junior Individual Championship a few days prior, with victories for Bradford Golf Club duo Noah Bates (Division One) and Chloe Thompson (Division Two).\n<\/p>\n

\n One of the club\u2019s own, Jude Brennan, came second behind Bates and Brook feels the setup and future looks bright at West Bradford.\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: “The members are always supportive and we\u2019ve got a good pro up there in Jack Watson.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It\u2019s just a really good club, to be honest.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He won the Amateur Strokeplay Championship in June, just weeks after teammates Dane Bairstow and Stephen Kennedy claimed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-738386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
