New champion in England’s Home Internationals golf team

    New English amateur champion Todd Clements and runner-up, Jack Gaunt, are among the 11 players selected for the England team for next week’s Home Internationals at Moortown, Yorkshire.

    Clements, from Essex, and Gaunt, from Staffordshire, will be joined by: Jake Burnage of Devon; Dan Brown, David Hague and Will Whiteoak of Yorkshire; Josh Hilleard and Tom Sloman of Somerset; Matthew Jordan of Cheshire; Bradley Moore of Derbyshire and Gian-Marco Petrozzi of Staffordshire.

    The team will take on the challenge of Ireland, Scotland and Wales as they bid to regain the Raymond Trophy, which they last won at Ganton, Yorkshire, in 2013. Since then, Ireland have been the champions.

    The round robin matches will be played from Wednesday to Friday, 16-18 August. On the first day Ireland will take on Wales while England will play Scotland.

    Moortown has a world world-wide reputation as a championship course. The club hosted the first Ryder Cup tournament on British soil in 1929 and over the following decades has hosted over fifty professional and major amateur events.
