Fifteen players make up the Spanish delegation that has traveled to the West Essex Golf Club course, north of London, to face a new edition of the veteran McGregor Trophy, the England Under 16 International Championship, which is being held this time between July 16 and 18.

The high level of participation—144 young golfers from numerous countries—and their quality characterize this competition, in which Spain is represented by Yago Horno, Arián Rodríguez, Gonzalo Baños, Éric Díaz, Bruno Berge, Eladio Dano Pérez, Isaac Oliver, Íñigo Ferreira, José Antonio Salas, Juan Miró, Luis del Rosal, Nicolás Vidal, Pelayo Fernández, Samuel Love, and Álvaro Trujillano. Toni Planells is serving as captain.

In this large group, it is worth highlighting the presence of golfers with a winning past in England, such as Arián Rodríguez and Juan Miró, winners of the Reid Trophy, England International Under 14, in the 2022 and 2023 editions.

The tournament is played over three days, with 72 holes of medal play. The first two days are played by the 144 golfers, while the final day is reserved for the top forty and those tied for that position, who play 36 holes in a single day to determine the new champion.

Ignacio Puente, the only Spanish winner

Spanish golf has only one victory in this tournament, which began in 1982. It took place in 2015, with Andalusian golfer Ignacio Puente winning at Wallasey Golf Club. The Sevillian golfer defeated Englishmen Toby Briggs and Charlie Strickland in a playoff.
