\n Berry, who turns out for both Shipley and Bingley St Ives, beat James Darcy in the final on the last hole at Keighley Golf Club.\n<\/p>\n
\n But two of the teenager\u2019s other matches, against Terry Brushwood and Scot Minto, went to a play-off as well.\n<\/p>\n
\n But Berry has become an expert in dealing with pressure this year, as he and St Ives team-mate Eddie Hodgson have just won the Inter-Club Foursomes title with a final-hole victory as well.\n<\/p>\n
\n Discussing his double glory over the last few weeks, Berry told the T&A: \u201cIt was a fairly close match all the way through against James.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI started really well and was three up through six holes, and then he fought back.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cJames has done that all year, he\u2019s played some really good stuff, but then I held him off at the end.\n<\/p>\n
\n Talking about that ability to hold his nerve, Berry said: \u201cI\u2019ve done that all the way through this year\u2019s Matchplay.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI’ve played some good players and Terry and Scot are both past champions.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cScot is a matchplay demon almost, he always gets the job done, so that was a nice one to win first.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWith Terry in the semis, I was three down through nine and he\u2019s a great player.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cBut I did really well on the back nine to pull it back and I think I stuck it to within a foot on the play-off hole.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Asked what matchplay glory means to him, Berry said: \u201cIt was a really nice one to win.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI’ve played golf all my life and I’ve been fairly consistent all year, but I’ve not really won anything.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt was nice to beat so many great players in a short span of time and just prove that I could do it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Just a week after that matchplay success, Berry was back in the winners\u2019 circle with Hodgson, the duo pipping Peter Akester and Kelvin Cook on the final hole of the foursomes final at Keighley.\n<\/p>\n

\n Berry said: \u201cWe played really well as a pair the whole way through the knockouts.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAgain, we beat some really good players, after some hard draws like James Marshall and Sam Hallas away, who play together for the Bradford Union.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI’d never really played with Eddie before, but we worked really well as a team.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIn then final, we played some really good stuff to hold off Pete and Kelvin.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Berry has been a member at Shipley since he was 10 years old, while he thrived at St Ives this year as part of their scratch team.\n<\/p>\n
\n He has plenty of inspirations at both clubs, but perhaps no-one he can rely on more than his father Tom Berry, a fantastic golfer in his own right.\n<\/p>\n
\n The teenage Berry admitted: \u201cDad\u2019s been great, obviously helping me throughout and taking me places to play.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI didn’t have a lesson until I was probably about 14 and he was basically my coach up until then.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe got me into the game and the first time I ever walked was to pick up a golf club.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cDad has always tried to get me to improve and followed me everywhere, so he\u2019s been really helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Berry, who turns out for both Shipley and Bingley St Ives, beat James Darcy in the final on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-796564","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\/796564","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=796564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
