Will Billy Bright be next Rory McIlroy?

Four year old Billy Bright has just been awarded Haven Fun & Fitness ‘Sports Tot of the Year’ and is hoping his prize might make him the next youngest US Open winner.

A nationwide search for the tot with most sporting potential was conducted by the Haven Fun & Fitness Campaign to encourage talent and enthusiasm for sports in preschoolers. Judges knew Billy would be an inspiration to other sporting tots as soon as they saw the video of his golf swing and read the impressive list of his sporting achievements, all before the age of four.

Award winners will receive a year’s coaching in their chosen sport and as a keen golfer Billy is hoping to follow in the footsteps Rory Mcilroy and be the next youngest winner of the US Open with professional golf lessons.
Billy’s proud mum, Ellie said “Billy has always loved being active from a very young age and playing golf and tennis has given him great hand eye co-ordination. Playing sport gives Billy a lot of confidence and helps wear out some of his energy! I can’t wait to see how his golf swing improves with professional coaching.”

The Haven Fun & Fitness campaign launched the Sports Tot of the Year awards to find those youngsters with exceptional sporting potential and provide the opportunity to develop their natural talent.

Naomi Woodstock from the Haven Fun & Fitness campaign commented “We had some fantastic entries for the title of Sports Tot of the Year but Billy stood out not just from his remarkable sporting prowess but also his enthusiasm. Whilst we were awed by his natural ability with a golf club we were also impressed by his eagerness to participate in tennis, rugby, swimming and even body boarding!”

Organisers have confirmed that the Sports Tot Awards will be an annual event and Haven Fun & Fitness will be looking to receive nominations for next years’ awards when they re-launch their giveaway campaign in September.
