Stephen has got his teeth back into golf

But three years later, a friend of his sister suggested they have a game together for fun and he saw golf in a fresh light of love.

Two years on, Webber at the age of 21 became the first of his golfing family to bring home a club championship title.

Webber explained: "I was playing off 12 handicap but golf was stressing me out and there were more interesting things to do.

"Then this friend and I just went to have a game for fun. It was his idea, but I shot 78, eight over par. That told me that, when I'd given up golf, all it had been was a blip when I was playing badly, and that I should give it a go again."
