Member's news

Ben Jones and GB&I

Ben was away playing for GB&I against Europe last week at Ballybunion in The Jacques Leglise Trophy. This is the under-18 equivalent of the St Andrews Trophy. It is played annually, though it shares a venue with its older brother whenever the senior competition is being played. Many of today's top professionals, like Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia, have contested the match in the past.

Ben played 4 matches, earning 2.5 points out of a possible 4.

Ben got the most points out of the GB and I team and was statistically the best player for the GB team along with fellow Northamptonshire player Robin Williams.
