Jaxson is world golf champ at 6

A BRITISH boy has become a world golf champion – at the age of six.

Jaxson Perry landed three trophies in four days on a trip to the US.

He was crowned world champ in the under-8s pairs category and in the under-7s putting event.

And he was the highest-placed European player across all age groups at the US Kids 2016 World Golf Finals, held at Pinehurst, in North Carolina.

The event attracts 1,450 players aged six to 12 from 84 countries.

Jaxson, from Bristol, started playing at four and has a handicap of 30.

Dad Andrew, 44, said: “He loves it and has huge potential.” Jaxson also trains at Southampton football academy.
