NICK DOUGHERTY etched his name on the Faldo Junior Series trophy for the second time in three years to continue his phenomenal season.
The 17-year-old Shaw Hill member won the tournament for the top junior players from Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and South Africa by three strokes.
Dougherty, who was runner-up in the event last year, returned a 27-hole total of 109 over the Brabazon course at the Belfry on Tuesday.
His one-under par morning round of 71 was four better than his nearest rival and the World Boys champion - the only domestic player not to have had to qualify for the boys' tournament - did enough in the afternoon to regain the trophy.
He will be eligible to play in the Nick Faldo-endorsed competition once more next year when he will have the chance of completing a remarkable hat-trick of wins.
