It's been a stellar summer for American Golf with three big competitions all reaching thrilling finales.
Their Long Drive Contest concluded with three winners in Lucas Dornan, Rebecca McGinley and Anton Reader who will now take part in the World Long Drive Championship in Oklahoma next month.
The Junior Championships saw a number of worthy winners crowned at Gainsborough Golf Club and the recent Finals Day was a huge success, taking place on the iconic Brabazon Course at The Belfry.
Stokes, Butter and 'Bumble' as he's known also took part in a golfing Q&A where they revealed their handicaps, their favourite courses and more, see the video below.
