Under the headline ‘Rare chance to watch the Rory McIlroys of Tomorrow’ – the talent on display was similar to that of McIlroy, a young British golfer, who has gained recognition and now plays on the professional stage.

The East Lothian Links will host the 3-day-event showcased the next generation of golfing talent – the championship saw children aged from 6 -18 years take to the green and play in a number of age and gender categories.

The competition took place along some of Scotland most picturesque links courses around East Lothian – Dan Van Horn US kids Golf founder and president, said:” We are delighted to be coming back to East Lothian once again to stage the US kids golf European Championships. Last years event was a tightly-contested tournament and I expect the standard of play at this year’s event to be even better.”
