Yorkshire golf: Lindrick GC’s Jonathan Thomson heading for Texas with England team

Lindrick GC’s Thomson and team-mates Hayley Davis (Ferndown), Bronte Law (Bramhall) and Scott Gregory (Corhampton) will contest the 54-hole championship at Whispering Pines GC from October 12-14.

The Spirit International involves both team and individual titles.

Nineteen-year-old Thomson helped Yorkshire regain the EGU Northern Counties League title during the summer.

He also tied fourth in the European amateur championship, shared third place in the Duncan Putter and was sixth in the Brabazon Trophy.

In the latter, helped by a third-round 66 at Notts (Hollinwell), he won the George Henriques salver awarded to the leading Great Britain & Ireland player aged under 20.

Davis, 22, is ranked 12th in the world and is a past winner of the English women’s amateur and stroke play titles. She is a three-time winner on the US college circuit and is a Great Britain & Ireland and England international.

Law, 20, is the world’s fifth ranked woman amateur and has played in two Curtis Cup teams. She successfully defended her English women’s amateur title this summer, winning by 16 shots, and tied fourth in the European amateur.

Gregory, 20, tied fourth in the European men’s amateur championship and was runner-up in the Lagonda Trophy. He was a quarter-finalist in the English amateur, having reached the final last year.
