Dominic's dad Mike, who is a professional golfer said: "He's continued to improve and he has really been in fantastic form. He shows so much enthusiasm for the game and just has a natural talent.

"Hopefully he'll do well, but the main thing is that he enjoys himself!"
Dominic will fly to San Diego with his family in July, where he will compete with more than 30 other under-six golfers from across the globe.
