Faversham Golf Club's Skye Fontanelli and Claudia Carlotti of Canterbury Golf Club enjoy success at the Kent Schools' Golf Championship at Prince's Golf Club

Faversham Golf Club’s Skye Fontanelli won the girls’ Kent Schools' Golf Championship at Prince's Golf Club on Tuesday while Canterbury’s third-placed Claudia Carlotti won the under-16s girls’ Stableford first prize.

Twelve-year-old Kent College pupil Fontanelli scored a birdie at the 14th, nine pars, five bogeys and two doubles in a gross 85 to win the girls’ championship by four shots.

Rochester and Cobham’s Keiki Chapman, of Goudhurst’s Bethany School, finished in second with a gross 89, to win on countback from Carlotti. Chapman won the under-12 girls’ net Stableford prize.

Fontanelli said: “It got better as the round went on. I was working [on] my putting and it definitely paid off.

“I was really pleased to win, we got a day off school and I was really happy with the way it turned out.

“It was a really fun and enjoyable day.”

Lee Carew, of the Harris Academy and Chelsfield Lakes in Orpington, shot a two-under-par 70 with an eagle at the third, two birdies and two bogeys to win the boys’ championship.

Carlotti, a 15-year-old student at Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School, scored birdies at the 17th and 18th to win the under-16 girls’ net Stableford, scoring 41 Stableford points from five pars, seven bogeys, three doubles and her double birdie finale.

She said: “Considering it was fairly windy and cold and I had my Covid vaccine the night before, I didn’t expect an amazing score but I scored 41 even with four lost balls.”

On the par 4 17th, big-hitting Carlotti hit her drive 265 yards to the fringe of the green, played a bump and ran it to three feet and sank the putt.

She added: “And on the next hole I hit an OK drive, I had 100 yards in so I hit a wedge and holed the putt from eight feet, so that was two birdies for
