EUROPEAN NATIONS CUP - McDonald in Scotland team

Jack McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie) has been selected in the four man team for the European Nations Cup in March.
 
Former European Tour winner Dean Robertson will lead a Scotland Men’s selection for the first time when he acts as team manager.

The event, formerly known as The Sherry Cup, takes place in Sotogrande, Malaga in Spain  from 13 – 16 March. Robertson will accompany the Scots after his selection by the Scottish Golf Union and backing from the University of Stirling, where he is Performance Golf Coach.

The team will be aiming to emulate the success of countrymen Scott Henry, Callum Macaulay, Wallace Booth and Keir McNicoll who triumphed in the event in 2008.

As well as Scotland’s success in the team competition in 2008, Andrew McArthur and Richie Ramsay finished joint-second in the individual standings in 2005. Previous individual winners include Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Francesco Molinari and Shane Lowry to prove the event is a breeding ground for future professional stars.
