The 14-year-old Gable Hall pupil, from Redley Close, has fought his way through to the finals of the Weetabix Golf Championship - one of the biggest competitions for Britain's young golfers.
He secured his place at the prestigious final with a strokeplay 76 scored at Channels Golf Club last week.
Now the teenager is about to head off to the Marriott Forest of Arden Golf and Country Club - location of many big championships including the recent British Masters.
Jordan is relishing the chance to contest the under-14s competition at the Warwickshire course.
Much of the youngster's summer has been spent practising hard at the Langdon Hills course where he qualified for the finals.
