CARLY'S JUNIOR RYDER CUP PLACE CONFIRMED

Scottish Golf Union coach Spencer Henderson, who accompanied the four Scots players to the European Young Masters, has confirmed that Carly Booth, the 14-year-old Comrie player, is the only UK representative in the European team of six boys and six girls for the Junior Ryder Cup match for Under-16s at Celtic Manor Golf Resort on September 18 and 19.
Spencer said:
"Carly's performance here in Austria has been incredible and I am very pleased for her and for Scotland that we have a player in the Junior Ryder Cup team.
"The level and standard of competition in this year's European Young Masters is the best I've seen in the three years I've been attending the event.
"Scotland finished fourth in the team event and I am extremely proud of them, considering they were competing against the best of 22 other nations."
