The English course of Moortown Golf Club, in the town of Alwoodley, near Leeds, hosts The Boys Amateur Championship from August 12 to 20, one of the most established and prestigious men's tournaments, which once again has Spanish participation. 

Eleven representatives, all of them under 18 years of age, as established by the regulations, face a competition that has seen eight Spanish winners in its history.

This demanding test, whose origins date back to 1921, will be contested this year by Bruno Marqués, Curro Martínez, Jan Farré, Iñigo Aguirre, Francisco Gavilán, Jorge Hao, Raúl Gómez, Daniel Martínez, Martín Saquicoray, Rafael Guerrero and Santi Juesas as part of a field of 124 players, many of the best European golfers in the Under 18 category.

The test establishes two Stroke Play rounds during the first two days of play, which only 64 players pass, who then go on to join the direct elimination bracket until the grand final.

Adrián Otaegui, last Spanish winner

Spain's tally in this tournament increased in 2010 with Adrián Otaegui's brilliant victory, defeating Germany's Max Rottluf in the final (4/3). Previously, in 2007, the Spanish tally grew with Emilio Cuartero's triumph at Royal Porthcawl (Wales) against Scotland's Fraser Fotheringhram by 1 up.

Previously, Jesús López (1981), José María Olazábal (1983), Francisco Valera (1991), Sergio García (1997), Alfonso Gutiérrez (1999) and Pablo Martín (2001) had accomplished this feat.
