England Golf has named its three-player team for the World Junior Girls Golf Championship at Credit Valley Golf & Country Club in Ontario, Canada, taking place from September 30-October 5.
Sadie Adams, (Royal Birkdale), Lauren Crump (Hill Valley) and Charlotte Naughton (Longhirst Hall) will represent England, who finished 10th last year in the competition at Brampton Golf Club (Canada).
The team format sees the top two individual scores from the three players counting on each day, while there is also an individual competition to crown the winner. Canada won on home soil last year, while Czech Republic’s Denisa Vodickova took the individual title.
England Women’s Assistant Performance Manager India Clyburn said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for the three girls to test themselves against the best in the world. All three have enjoyed fabulous years to date, both individually and representing their country, so we’re looking forward to seeing whether they can help us enjoy more success on the world stage in Canada.”
