HUTSBY APPOINTED ENGLAND BOY CAPTAIN
 Sam
Hutsby, who is enjoying a highly successful year on the fairways
at home and abroad, has been selected to captain England in
next month’s Boys Home Internationals in Scotland.
The 17 year old from the Lee-on-Solent club in Hampshire started
the year on a high by winning the Spanish Amateur Championship,
beating Eduardo Molinari from Italy, the US Amateur champion,
7&6 over 36 holes.
Since then, Hutsby (pictured left - photo courtesy of Tom
Ward) has finished joint runner-up in the McEvoy Trophy, fourth
in the Sir Henry Cooper Junior Masters, and represented England
in the World Junior Team Championships in Japan and the recent
European Boys Team Championships in Sweden.
“I’ve had a good year so far as this sums it up
for me,” said Hutsby. “Also, it’s such a
confidence booster for the Boys Home Internationals, which
I’m really looking forward to.”
A former under 16 international, Hutsby also caught the eye
in 2005, finishing tied second in the Under 18 Championship
for the Carris Trophy, third in the Sir Henry Cooper Junior
Masters, and fourth in the South East Boys Qualifying. He
also made his debut at boys level in the Home Internationals
at Woodhall Spa where he helped England win the title.
That extended England’s run of successive victories
in the event to eight so Hutsby will aim to take his side
one-over-the-eight at Moray Golf Club in Lossiemouth on 8th
- 10th August.
