Huddersfield’s Nick Marsh will be competing in Spain wearing England’s colours once again next week.
The 20-year-old English Amateur Champion, who is currently ranked as the 36th best amateur in the world and sixth in Europe, will join the England teams to play in the Nations Cup event at the Spanish amateur championship at Sherry Golf Jerez in Cadiz.
The event starts next Wednesday and finishes on Sunday, with Marsh eager to continue to underline his credentials for selection in this year’s Walker Cup team.
Already this season Marsh was the top qualifier for the matchplay stages of the Australian amateur, and has just returned Spain from playing as one of a four-man England squad competing for the European Nations Cup.
Marsh said: “I am really looking forward to next week and getting back to the sunshine!”
Three teams will represent England Golf in the Nations Cup event at Sherry Golf Jerez.
Marsh will be joined by Ashley Chesters, of Shropshire and Herefordshire, and Ben Stow, of Dorset.
Adam Chapman, of Cumbria, Jimmy Mullen, of Devon, and Luke Johnson, of Norfolk, combine in another and the third is composed of Paul Kinnear, of Lancashire, Joe Dean, of Yorkshire, and Michael Saunders, of Kent.
All nine players are members of the England Golf men’s squad and all are internationals.
The championship has two rounds of strokeplay qualifying and the leading 32 players will go forward to the match play.
The Nations Cup will be played on the qualifying days when each team’s best two scores will count in both rounds.
Talking about the Walker Cup, Marsh added: “Since I started playing golf at a high level, it has been my long-term ambition to play in the Walker Cup.
“But there is a lot of golf between now and then and I am just focusing on one tournament at a time and hope I do enough to get picked when the time comes.”
