Tom Lewis: The Next Rory Mcilroy?

Wow! What a win for Tom Lewis. It was just his 3rd event as a professional and he shot a superb 65 on Sunday to win the Portugal Masters by 2 clear shots.

Lewis first made a name for himself in the Open Championship at Sandwich. He shot a 65 on day 1, the lowest round ever by an amateur in the Open.

He then went on to take part in the Walker Cup and help lead GB & Ireland to a famous victory.

It's never easy to gauge how good these young amateurs will be but 20 year old Lewis is clearly a star of the future after his superb win in Portugal.

But he made an astonishing 22 birdies in the last 52 holes en route to winning the title. So how good will Tom Lewis be?

Well it's still difficult to tell as golf is all about form. But it took Tiger Woods 5 professional events to win his first title and Rory Mcilroy needed 38 events for his first win.

Lewis now has a two year exemption and does not have to worry about going to Q-School later in the year.
