UNDER-16 QUADRANGULAR TEAM TOURNAMENT IN HOLLAND

FIRST SCOTLAND HONOUR FOR 

MICHAEL LAWRIE (15) 

Michael Lawrie, 15-year-old younger son of 1999 Open champion Paul, has been chosen to play for Scotland in an Under-16 boys' quadrangular international golf tournament against hosts Holland, Wales and Ireland at Purmerend, near Amsterdam from April 15 to 17.
Deeside Golf Club junior member and Robert Gordon's College pupil Lawrie (pictured) is a first-year member of the Scottish Golf Academy and this will be the first time he has represented Scotland.
In last year's tournament, Ireland were the overall winners and Scotland finished second.
Sam Locke, stepson of Paul Lawrie Golf Centre-based coach Andrew Locke, has also been selected. Locke finished the top Scot in last summer's Scottish Under-16 open boys stroke-play tournament at Portlethen.
There are two North District boys in the squad - Rory Franssen (Inverness) and Sandy Scott (Nairn).
Kevin Cademy-Taylor, Scottish Golf Performance Development Manager, said: 
"We're looking forward to it. It's not a full international match; it's a development opportunity for our players against those from other countries.
"Essentially, at their ages, it gives the boys great experience of travelling and playing for Scotland, in foursomes and singles competition."
The Scotland squad for Holland is:
Cameron Black (Cardross), Glen Burrett (Haggs Castle), Rory Franssen (Inverness), Michael Lawrie (Deeside), Sam Locke (Banchory), Matthew McCulloch (Portpatrick), Sandy Scott (Nairn), Robert Watson (Muckhart).
