Under 14 Champion Toby Tree (Worthing - Sussex) and English Under 16 Champion Sebastian Crookall-Nixon (Workington - Cumbria) will represent the English Golf Union (EGU) in the annual European Young Masters Championship over the Albatross Course at Golf National near Paris on 23rd - 25th July.
Crookall-Nixon won the under 16 crown for the McGregor Trophy when still aged 14 at High Post Golf Club in Wiltshire last June which prompted his debut as an under 16 international in the match against Spain.
Now 15, the Cumbrian youngster was later capped against Scotland and Ireland at that level and is a member of the England Under 16 Squad for 2009.
He will defend his title when the McGregor Trophy returns to its traditional home at Radcliffe-on-Trent, Nottingham, on 30th June - 2nd July.
Tree, who will celebrate his 15th birthday on 3rd June, was crowned English Under 14 Champion when he won the Reid Trophy at Coxmoor last August.
The Sussex lad triumphed by two strokes over an international field and earlier this year was a member of the squad that competed in the Triangular Match in South Africa.
The European Young Masters includes a girls competition with a Nations Cup covering both, three of the four cards each day to count. |
