DAILY TELEGRAPH JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

ROSEANNE, SALLY AND GRAEME AMONG THE
QUALIFIERS FOR DUBAI CREEK TOURNAMENT

Three Scots – Graeme Mitchell (Northern), Roseanne Niven (Crieff) and Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry Ladies) – have been confirmed as members of a 21-strong party bound for the magnificent resort of Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on Wednesday, October 11.
They are making the all-expenses-paid trip to compete for the Daily Telegraph junior golf championship over 54 holes from October 15 to 17.
Graeme Mitchell qualified with his eight-under-par record round of 62 at Hazlehead.
Roseanne also earned her place with a course record score – a seven-under-par 67 at her home club, Crieff. Graeme and Roseanne topped the respective boys' and girls' tables in the sub-par returns' format which was the basis for qualification.
Sally, now based at the IMG Academy in Florida, is the only girl to be awarded a sponsors’ invitation on the strength of her performances this season. She and Roseanne Niven were members of the title-winning Scotland team in the girls’ home internationals and Sally also played for Scotland in the women’s home internationals.
Previous winners of the championship include Andrew Coltart (1986) and Mhairi McKay in 1991.
The 21 finalists will stay for a week at a luxury hotel - the Park Hyatt - and play the world-famous Thomas Bjorn-designed Dubai Creek course, which is a European Tour venue.
