The Junior Open Championship is played in a stroke play format. In stroke play, each player completes the entire round of golf, and the total number of strokes taken by each player is recorded. The player with the lowest total score at the end of the tournament is declared the winner.
This format is different from match play, where players compete against each other hole by hole, with the player or team winning the most holes being declared the winner of the match.
The Junior Open Championship provides a platform for talented young golfers to showcase their skills and compete against their peers. It is a prestigious event that attracts junior golfers from around the world. The tournament helps in identifying and promoting young talent in the sport of golf.
