A SECOND career century by 14-year-old sensation Jordan Winbourne dispelled any lingering doubts about the outcome of the inaugural Cuestars South of England Under-21 Gold Tour.
The Chandler’s Ford Snooker Club teenage amassed his highest break of 105 against Daniel Woods in the group stages of the seventh and final event at Salisbury Snooker Club.
Landing straight on the black on 98, he rolled it in rather than attempting a complicated positional shot to get on the final red which was near the brown.
Winbourne needed to reach the knockout to make it mathematically certain of leading the rankings into the eight-man play-off in front of world No 26 Matthew Stevens at the Cuestars finals day in Swindon on June 6.
After sailing through four group matches without dropping a frame, he disposed of John Smith (The Academy, Eastleigh) 3-0 and Ollie Tydeman (Woolston Cons) 3-1 in the final.
Winbourne, who chalked up seven other breaks of more than 40, has reached the final in five of the six tournaments he has competed in and won three.
In the second semi, Tydeman saw off Daniel Tallentire (Westbury) 3-0.
Top eight who qualify for the play-off: Jordan Winbourne (C/Ford) 114 pts; Lee Roling (The Academy, Eastleigh) 77; Kevin Impett (C/Ford) 69; Ben Tanner (The Academy, Eastleigh) 61; Daniel Tallentire (Player’s, Westbury) 58; Ollie Tydeman (Woolston Cons) 55; Daniel Woods (C/Ford) 46; James Bolton (Salisbury) 32.
