Whitchurch golfer selected to represent England in Golf World Cup
Whitchurch's Lauren Crump has been selected to play for England in the Junior World Cup in Japan.
The 15-year-old, who plays at Hill Valley in Whitchurch, will be part of a team of three boys and two other girls competing at the Boys’ & Girls’ Toyota Junior Golf World Cup at Chukyo Golf Club, Japan from June 24 to 27.
It is the first time England Girls have qualified for the event, while England Boys have won three of the 30 editions of the competition to date, having started in 1992.
For Crump, it is the latest accolade in her young career that has seen her scoop a number of titles already.
Her latest came at the Comboy Scratch at Delamere Forest, while also coming second and missing out in a play off at the Fairhaven Trophy.
Also in a busy 2026 she won her all her matches for England under 16s in their win over Spain, while also carding a top five finish at the R&A under 16 Amateur Championships and the Scottish under 18s Championship.
And she has already picked up international honours before, having represented England in the 2024 World Junior Girls Golf Championship in Canada and also helped Great Britain and Ireland win the Junior Vagliano Trophy in 2024 for the very first team.
