England trio for this week's Chiberta Grand Prix in France

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH GOLF UNION
Daniel Wasteney (Bondhay, Yorkshire), who has made rapid progress within Yorkshire golf in a short space of time, is representing the EGU for the    first time in the four-day Chiberta Grand Prix tournament, starting n Biarritz, in southwest France today.
He is accompanied by Tom Boys (Royal Liverpool, Cheshire) and Jack Hiluta (Chelmsford, Essex) in a three-strong party that will seek further success in the French event.
Wasteney, 18, only took up golf four years ago but has already made an impact, shooting 67 at Ganton last year when he broke into the Yorkshire first team. Recently, he shot a course record 66 at Wallasey in the Northern Group Qualifying, finishing second in the individual ranking on 138.
Boys, 19, a former Cheshire Under 15 and Under 16 Champion, won the Fairhaven Trophy in 2008 when he was also capped by England for the Boys Home Internationals. Last year, when a member of the England Under 18 Squad, he topped the Northern Group Qualifying, lost a play-off for the Canadian Junior Challenge and also represented the EGU in South Africa and the United States.
Hiluta, 21, currently at college in America, was a boy international in 2006 and ’07, being England Boy Captain in the latter. Also in 2007, he finished tied fourth in the Carris Trophy and reached the quarter finals of the British Boys Championship. He also represented GB and I in the Jacques Leglise Trophy that year and was a member of the England A Squad in 2009.
The Chiberta Grand Prix is medal stroke play over 72 holes with a halfway cut. There is also a team event over the first two days, the best two of the three cards to count. English players have been prominent in the event previously.
