VICTORIA, Australia (March 9, 2014) -- Teenage golfing sensation Ryan Ruffels, 15, has become the youngest player in its 106-year history to win the Riversdale Cup with a one-stroke victory on Sunday.

Ruffels, of Victoria golf club, held off a determined challenge from Metropolitan's Todd Sinnott, who held a six-shot lead after two rounds of the country's premier amateur tournament.
