England Golf has named its three-player team for the World Junior Girls Golf Championship at Brampton Golf Club, Canada from 30 September-3 October.
Lauren Crump, Ellie Lichtenhein and Annabel Peaford will represent the Rose, as they go in search of a first gold medal at the event.
However, England did enjoy its first ever individual winner of the event in 2025, as Charlotte Naughton shot -10 across the four rounds.
The tournament which started in 2014, sees the world’s leading golf nations go head-to-head, as all players compete across four rounds of stroke play. The top two individual scores from the three players count towards the nation’s team score.
