Ben Clarke wins FootGolf Association of England National Masters at Oldham

Ben Clarke closed the FootGolf Association of England National Masters at Oldham Golf Club with a three-round total of 34-under par, a winning line built on rounds of 13-under, 11-under and 10-under. The numbers told the story of a player who controlled the event from the start and never drifted out of red figures across the weekend.

Clarke confirmed the result in a celebratory Instagram post on 9 August 2026, writing that he was “delighted to get the win over the line” and describing his level as “a consistent level throughout the weekend.” That is the right description for a performance that never relied on a single burst. The opening 13-under round gave him immediate authority, the 11-under second round kept the pressure on, and the final 10-under round still moved the tournament forward rather than protecting what he had already built.

The margin was created in the shape of the scoring itself. Clarke did not post one runaway number and then coast home. Instead, he stacked three strong rounds in sequence, losing just three shots from his opening pace while still finishing with a 34-under total. In FootGolf terms, that is the profile of a champion who can win in more than one way, and it is exactly why the result reads as a statement rather than a narrow escape.

Oldham gave Clarke a clean benchmark for the level needed to win one of England’s major domestic FootGolf events. The post pinned the finish to Oldham, England, and made clear that this was the National Masters title, not just a good weekend or a hot streak. For Clarke, the importance is bigger than the trophy alone: a win built on 13-under, 11-under and 10-under is the kind of form that travels, and it puts him into his next big tournaments with the look of a player who is setting the standard rather than chasing it.
