The talented golfer, sponsored by C&C Employee Benefits through our partnership with Underpin Sports Network, recently claimed his maiden Clutch Pro Tour title with an outstanding performance at the Motocaddy Championship, marking a significant milestone in his golfing journey.
Curtis finished the tournament on an impressive 12-under-par, with rounds of 68, 63 and 67 to secure victory against a strong field of aspiring professionals.
The Clutch Pro Tour is widely recognised as one of the leading development tours in Europe, providing ambitious golfers with a pathway towards the HotelPlanner Tour and ultimately the DP World Tour. The tour attracts some of the brightest emerging talent in the game and offers players the opportunity to gain valuable competitive experience and Official World Golf Ranking points.
Curtis’ victory is particularly pleasing for everyone involved with the Underpin Sports Network, which focuses on developing the mental performance and resilience of young elite amateur and professional golfers. The network works closely with athletes to help them maximise their potential, both on and off the course, recognising that success at the highest levels of sport requires much more than technical ability alone.
As a proud supporter of Underpin Sports Network, C&C Employee Benefits is delighted to see Curtis’ hard work, dedication and commitment rewarded with such a significant achievement.
