A teenage golfer is set to represent England on the international stage.

Seventeen-year-old Lauren Crump, from Hill Valley, Shropshire, has been selected to play in the Women’s and Men’s Home Internationals taking place at Woodbrook Golf Club in County Wicklow, Ireland, from August 5 to 7.

Her selection follows a standout season, including a tied third-place finish at Final Qualifying for the 2026 AIG Women's Open.

She secured her spot in the championship by outperforming a field filled with seasoned professionals.

Crump also claimed victory at the 2026 ANNIKA Invitational in Sweden, becoming only the second English winner in the event’s history and setting a new tournament record with a 10-shot margin.

She further impressed by winning the 2026 Rose Ladies Series professional event at Southport & Ainsdale at just 16 years old—her second professional event.

Additional highlights this season include winning the 2026 Hampshire Rose, finishing tied fifth in her third professional event, and achieving third place at the 2026 Welsh Women's Open Stroke Play Championship.

She also finished tied third at the Comboy Leveret and secured a top-10 position at the German International Girls' Amateur.

In team competition, she helped England secure silver at the 2026 European Girls' Team Championship.

Other achievements include finishing joint-top of the stroke play stages of the 2026 English Women's Amateur Championship, winning the English Girls' Stroke Play Championship in both 2024 and 2025, and claiming back-to-back titles at the Women’s County Champion of Champions at Woodhall Spa during the same years.
