HARLECH, WALES (May 22, 2016) - On the final day of the Welsh Amateur Open Barry Hume took care of business and won the title and added another victory to his impressive amateur career tally.

Playing at the par-69 Royal St. Davids Golf Club, Hume put together rounds of 67-66-66-69. Hume was under-par in each of the first three rounds before closing with an even-par final round.
