Surrey county championships have been a happy hunting ground for the Crockett family in recent times.
FORMAT: 36-hole stroke play qualifier / 4 rounds of matchplay
Last year Charlie won the men’s event and two weeks ago dad Simon won the Seniors.
At the weekend it was Harry’s turn to grab the limelight, replacing his older brother as county champion in brilliant fashion at Walton Heath.
The Addington Palace player, who has recently returned from Nebraska after completing the first of two years at university, won the stroke play qualifier on his way to beating Woking’s Henry Daly 7&5 in the knockout final.
It also meant he has now won the Surrey U-14s, U-16s and U-18s with just one left to complete the set.
“It’s just the colts left now,” said the 21-year-old.
“I got off to really good start against Henry (Daly) and managed to put the pressure on early and he struggled to get anything going the other way.”
In the final Crockett was four under at the conclusion of the match. He went ahead on the third and never lost a hole, birdieing the third, sixth but the killer blow came at the 11th where the soon-to-be champion rolled one in from 40 feet to go six up with seven to play.
They halved the next in pars before Daly found a difficult lie in the bunker with his second and, after thinning his escape shot through the green, the match was conceded.
However Crockett did not have it all his own way in the matchplay stages and was lucky to reach the semi-finals after playing “terribly” for most of his clash with Burhill’s Duncan Hodgson.
The Surrey county player sprung into life on the 13th were an eagle got him back to just one down and he levelled matters on 16, sinking a ten-footer for birdie.
He then went one up at the next after holing out from 15 feet but Hodgson took advantage of some luck on the last to force extra time, his fast-moving chip rattling the pin and stopping three feet away.
With Crockett putting his “poor” chip to 15 feet and then lipping out, the match went into extra time, both narrowly missing birdies at the first extra hole.
Both made standard pars at the par three second before the duo found the dreaded heather with their tee shots at the third.
Crockett was able to move his ball green-side with his next effort while his opponent struggled to escape and then his third rolled back down the slope at the front of green, leaving himself a long putt for par.
The Addington Palace player managed to put his third to five feet, holing out after Hodgson and putt his par putt to within gimme range.
In the opening round Crockett saw off Alex Wells (St George’s Hill) 2&1 and in the morning semi-final, he beat Roehampton’s Alfie Fox 3&2.
