It is not a question of whether Daisy may, writes John Whitbread.

It is more a fact that Daisy May can – and does win.

Seventeen-year-old Cuddington Golf Club star Daisy May Kenny has become the talk of Surrey after a trail-blazing summer of success.

It began with victory in the Surrey Girls Championship at Burhill.

In tough windy conditions Kenny won the 36-hole event by seven shots from her arch rival, Samantha Fuller, of Roehampton.

She followed that by winning the Cuddington Girls title, following a disappointing first round with a super one-under par gross second round to win by three shots.

The Cuddington Ladies Scratch title proved a case of third time lucky for Kenny.

In 2008 she lost out in a play-off to the experienced Alison Dalgleish and last year Dalgleish beat her by a shot.

This time there was no stopping Kenny, however, as she romped home seven shots clear of the field.

"I wasn't sure how they would react to a junior winning their prize, but the ladies were all really supportive," she said.

And to complete a quartet of top prizes Kenny claimed the Surrey Schools title at Guildfordagain denying old rival Fuller by three shots.

"It really has been an unbelievable year for me," added Kenny, who is also unbeaten playing for the Surrey squad, who she will join again for County Week at West Surrey in August.

Before then a hectic schedule sees her compete in the South of England Women's Championship at Bush Hill Park, Enfield; the English Girls Under-18s at Seacroft; and South of England Girls at Canterbury.

"I can't get enough competitions," said Kenny, who is playing or practising almost seven days a week during her summer holidays from Woodcote School, Purley, where she will take her A levels next year.

Remarkably, Kenny is a relatively late convert to golf having considered it "a bit boring" when she first tried the sport at the age of eight.

Instead she flourished in the world of football becoming centre half for Chelsea Ladies.

But at 13 she was persuaded to give golf a second try by her father Tom and brothers Jack and Tom Junior, who all play off scratch or very low single figure handicaps.

This time she was hooked . After a spell at Woodcote Park she moved to Cuddington and after just six months she was selected for the Surrey training squad.

Within a year Kenny had cut her handicap from 28 to 15 and just 12 months later she was down to five.

The big breakthrough came last year when she won the Faldo Championship qualifier at Walton Heath to earn a coveted place in the final in Brazil, where she finished a creditable seventh.

"It was an incredible experience travelling to such an amazing country," she said. "The course was really tough but I loved the competition and it was great to meet Nck Faldo and learn quite a lot from him.

"I am so thankful to my dad and brothers that they helped me change my mind about my sporting future. I had a passion for football, but I don't think I would ever had a real future in it like I believe I have in golf.

"I just eat, sleep and breathe the game now and though I know it will be incredibly tough I have set my heart on eventually becoming a professional."
