Boys and Campbell picked to play

in 'Thunderbird' in Arizona

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH GOLF UNION
England boy international Tom Boys (Royal Liverpool) and his Under-18 squad colleague Scott Campbell (Hallowes) will represent the English Golf Union in the Thunderbird International at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, on 22nd - 25th May.
The Thunderbird International is a 54-hole stroke play tournament played over the Raptor Course at Grayhawk. A field of 47 will compete in the boys’ event and 29 in the girls with no cut at any stage.
Boys, 17, made his England debut in the boys' home internationals last year and won four of his six matches. Having led the 2008 Carris Trophy after the first and third rounds before finishing ninth, the former Cheshire Under-15 and Under-16 champion, won the Fairhaven Trophy, then lost a play-off for the Canadian Junior Challenge in Ontario.
After being named in the England Under-18 Squad for 2009, Cheshire-based Boys was in the team that competed in the triangular tournament in South Africa earlier this year.
Campbell helped his club, Hallowes, win last year’s Yorkshire team championship. Also in 2008, he reached the fourth round of the British boys championship, the quarter-finals of the Sunningdale Foursomes with Tommy Fleetwood, and finished seventh in the Sir Henry Cooper Junior Masters. The Sheffield 17-year-old holds the course record at Hallowes with a round of 61.
