Players' Championship at Sawgrass

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH GOLF UNION
England Under-18 champion Callum Shinkwin (Moor Park, Hertfordshire) and Under-16 Champion Toby Tree (Worthing, Sussex) have travelled to the United States to compete in the US Junior Players Championship over the Stadium course at TPC at Sawgrass in Florida from tomorrow through to Sunday (September to 5).
Shinkwin won the Under-18 championship for the Carris Trophy at Woodhall Spa in July, a victory that earned him a first England cap in the boys' home internationals at Southerness. Last week he helped his home county Hertfordshire win the English boys' county championship at Berwick, scoring five points out of six.

Tree is a former winner of the English Under-14 Championship and became Under-16 Champion this year at Prince’s in Kent. He also won the Douglas Johns Trophy and the Sussex boys' championship last year and made his debut in the recent boys' home internationals.

The US Junior Players Championship will be played over 54 holes of stroke play featuring the top youngsters from America as well as international players.
