"Awesome," says Carly when Curtis Cup team news reaches her at Red Mountain High School, Arizona

Today was just another day as a student at Red Mountain High School, Mesa in Arizona for 15-year-old Carly Booth.

Well, not quite. She had just received the news that she had been selected to play for Great Britain & Ireland against the United States in the Curtis Cup match over the Old Course, St Andrews on May 30-31 and June 1.

Carly from Comrie is the youngest GB&I player ever to be selected for the match.

She has played for Europe in the Junior Ryder Cup match and is the European Young Masters' girls champion plus a host of other titles.

This quote from Carly has been relayed to Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk by her mother Pauline:

"Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. It's what I have been working towards and I'm really happy and looking forward to the competition."
