WHITCHURCH teenager Lauren Crump has been included in England's three-player team for the World Junior Girls Golf Championship at St Catharines Golf & Country Club in Canada.
The championship takes place from September 15-20 with the Hill Valley Golf Club member joined by Ellie Lichtenhein from Buckinghamshire and Charlotte Naughton from Northumberland.
Manager India Clyburn said: "We have a really strong team of national champions for the World Junior Girls in Canada.
"I’m excited to see how they take the opportunity to compete against other strong nations. The course set-up always plays like target golf, so we need to be accurate from tee to green for the best chance of scoring well.”

England will be looking to make history at the event, having not medalled at any of the previous nine events since its inception in 2014, while no English player has finished in the top-three positions of the individual leaderboard at the championship.
The 16 year old has enjoyed a stellar 2025, retaining the the English Girls' Stroke Play Championship, Comboy Scratch at Delamere Forest and all four matches in England's clash with Spain.
Lauren also represented England at the 2025 Toyota Junior World Cup and helped England win the 2025 and 2024 Girls’ & Boys’ Home Internationals.
