CHANNELS Golf Club’s head PGA pro Jason Levermore will be hoping his good run of form continues in America this weekend.

Levermore (pictured) has just triumphed in the Lombard Trophy grand final at Gleneagles and will aiming for more success as part of Great Britain & Ireland’s PGA Cup to take on the United Stages at Corde-Valle in California.

GB&I will be aiming for a historic first win on US soil in the competition, which starts on Friday and concludes on Sunday.

“I’ve thought about it all the time in terms of how much I’m looking forward to it and how the good team is,” Levermore said.

“We had a recent get together and the camaraderie is already there and hopefully we can bring the PGA Cup back home.”

Levermore and the team will be trying to prise the Llandudno Trophy – donated to the PGA by Peter Aliss in 1973 – from the USA, who have held a vice-like grip on the trophy since the biannual event started 42 years ago.

But Levermore sees the US favourites’ tag as very much a positive.

“Because they are so strong and because we have never won in America, they are expected to do the same again,” he said. “We are not expected to go over there and win – everyone wants us to but nobody expects us to.

“But if we play our own game we have every chance – and if we don’t win, it’s not the end of the world.

“If you look at our team we’ve got 10 strong players and although I know America’s players are probably more full time than ours and play a higher level, that doesn’t mean a great deal in matchplay – that’s the great thing about matchplay.

“I love playing against someone else and not having to worry whether you shoot 65 or 75 – just whether you win.”

Levermore will have his coach, and fellow Channels PGA pro Paul Bate, as caddy for the PGA Cup clash.
