Three Shropshire golfers in regional squad - including younger sister of Women's Open star

Three Shropshire golfers have been included in the West Midlands regional squad by England Golf.

Hill Valley’s Lucy Crump - younger system of Lauren, who qualified for this year’s Women’s Open - is in a six-strong girls’ squad.

Meanwhile, Telford’s Brodie Miller and Wrekin’s Harry Slater make up half of the four-person boys’ squad.

The regional squads act as a bridge between county and national golf, identifying and supporting players of potential to represent the relevant England age-group teams.

England Golf deputy performance director Steve Burnett said: "Our aim is to create a clear and connected pathway that gives every aspiring player the opportunity to progress, while developing the skills, confidence and behaviours needed to succeed at the highest level.

"Over the last year, the performance staff team have undertaken a thorough review of the regional programme, resulting in updated selection criteria that has never been more rigorous.

“It is thanks to their hard work that the new-look 2026/27 regional squads are stronger than ever as we head into the next phase of coaching and support.

"The programme has been instrumental in the development of many players who have gone on to represent England and achieve success in the amateur and professional game."
