Three England players in PING Junior Solheim Cup team

Three England internationals – Georgia Hall, Bronte Law and Amber Ratcliffe – have been selected for Europe’s team for The PING Junior Solheim Cup to be played at The Inverness Golf Club in Denver, Colorado, on August 13-14, 2013.

They are among 12 players from eight countries and will be captained by Janice Moodie, who represented Europe in three Solheim Cups and won twice on the LPGA Tour.

The PING Junior Solheim Cup pits the 12 best European junior girl golfers against their counterparts from the United States. It always takes place immediately ahead of The Solheim Cup, which this year will be played on August 16-18, just 20 minutes away from The Inverness Club.

"I am so excited for my team to finally be revealed,” said Moodie “These girls have proven on and off the course to be ambassadors for themselves, their countries and now the 2013 European PING Junior Solheim Cup team. With eight countries being represented we have a diverse and strong team. Congratulations girls and let’s go play golf. Go EUROPE!”

Georgia Hall, 17, from Remedy Oak in Dorset, (Image © Leaderboard Photography) is the top- ranked player on the European side. She currently holds both the British women’s and girls’ championship titles, she’s Europe’s top woman amateur and is ranked seventh in the world.

Bronte Law, 18, from Bramhall in Cheshire, was a member of the winning GB&I team at the 2012 Curtis Cup and is the French U18 open champion.

Amber Ratcliffe, 17, from Royal Cromer in Norfolk, tied second in qualifying at the European girls’ team championship in Sweden. Like Georgia and Bronte, she was a member of the GB&I team for the 2013 Vagliano Trophy match.

The six wild card picks are:

The PING Junior Solheim Cup was inaugurated back in 2002 and the match series currently stands at 3-2-1 in favour of the Americans who have never lost on home soil.
