Smithson, 15, makes history by winning British Open
Smithson finished two shots clear of Birmingham’s James Luton after four rounds at the Horsenden Hill course near Wembley.
Smithson is a member of the Quarry Park Disc Golf Club in Old Milverton and is following in the footsteps of course owner and pro Derek Robins who won the very first British Open in 1979 and was victorious again this year, but this time in the MP40 (40+ years) division.

Smithson and Robins are part of a six-person team which will represent the UK in the World Team Championships in Estonia later this summer.
