FAMOUS PAST WINNER OF SUSSEX UNDER 12'S CHAMPIONSHIP
2008 saw Marco Penge win the Sussex Under 12's Championship...
Marco Penge enjoyed an excellent finish on the Challenge Tour last season, winning twice in the final five events of the campaign.
After his breakthrough victory in the Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos, he went on to win the season-ending Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A and become the 13th Challenge Tour Number One to hail from England.
