Ryder Cupper Carly Booth

Teenage sensation, Carly Booth, is the only British golfer to qualify by right for the junior Ryder Cup in Kentucky.

Although the men’s event, that gets underway next week, will be lacking a Scottish presence after Colin Montgomerie was denied a wild card entry, 16-year-old Booth will be representing the cross of St Andrew.

Booth, from Comrie in Perthshire, lines up alongside five girls and six boys to take on the US team.
