Surrey’s Ben Taylor and Marco Penge (pictured) from West Sussex have been named in the men’s and boys’ squads hoping to seek medals at next month’s European Team Championships.
The men’s event takes place at Halmstad Golf Club, Sweden from July 7-11, while the Boy’s tournament is being held in Pickala, Finland.
The full men’s team is Ashley Chesters (Shrops); Nick Marsh (Yorks), Jimmy Mullen (Devon), Ben Taylor (Surrey), Ashton Turner (Lincs), and Sean Towndrow (Lancs).
Surrey’s Ben Taylor has been enjoying some great results in America
Five of the six team members – with the exception of Taylor, who was at university in the USA – were in the winning England team in the biennial international against Spain. Taylor, 23, (Walton Heath) recently holed the winning putt to seal Louisiana State University’s victory in the men’s NCAA Championship, the biggest championship on the US college circuit. He has also won individually in the US and made his full England debut in 2011.
The boys’ team comprises Bradley Moore (Derby); Marco Penge (Sussex); Harry Hall (Cornwall); Will Enefer (Shrops), Jamie Li (Somerset) and Matty Lamb (Northumberland).
Penge, 17, (Golf at Goodwood) has won the Scottish men’s stroke play, the Peter McEvoy Trophy and the Sir Henry Cooper Junior Masters this season. He is a past winner of the McGregor Trophy and the Fairhaven Trophies.
