THE IJWM
It's not enough to win.Â
Others must lose.
IJWM 2025
Chapter 11: St Pierre Country Club, Monmouthshire
The reign of Rich Green is over.
James Sowerby, long time IJWM competitor and mid-table man, went full Randy Orton and came out of nowhere to stun the competition on the biggest stage of all to romp to victory in Monmouthshire. And it wasn't even close.
​
Securing the Par 3 Championship and the new IJWM record for most points scored over two rounds (79), Sowerby took the trophies home with a 9 point cushion.
​
The King is dead. Long live the King!
This is so much more than a game.
This is the IJWM.

IJWM HALL OF CHAMPIONS
JAMES SOWERBY
St Pierre, Monmouthshire
28 brave souls battled it out at St Pierre, where Rich Green aimed for a historic three-peat.
In the Ryder Cup, Team Lewis stormed into a dominant lead, going 4 up on Team Doble after the pairs outings. Despite a valiant effort and winning the singles battle, Team Lewis finished 3 up overall at the end of Day 2, definitively ending the Battle of the Bald's.
​
Individually, Jason Hamilton had a firm grip on the championship after day 1 with a huge 39 points haul - 2 points ahead of closest rival James Sowerby and 4 ahead of Dave Hollinrake and Matt Bennett who jointly held third. Hamilton, however, flew too close to the Sun and his title challenge fell apart. The day belonged to James Sowerby, who maintained his composure to finish the tournament with an incredible 79 points with a 9 point cushion.
