A Northumberland girl who is only 6 years old has qualified for an international tournament. Rachel Gourley is going to participate the Junior World Golf Championship In San Diego in July. It was less than two years since this lovely young lady pick up his first club. And now she is going to competing with previous champion, including Tiger Woods and Ernie Els. Rachel Gourley's first clubs were a Barbie set which was given for her fifth brithday. She will compete against the most talented young golfers from around the world.
However, the amazing result of this young lady was that she had already beaten children who were twice her age as well as her father. As her father Tony said, while other children were thinking about how to play with their pocket money, Rachel was setting off her golf journey and trying to beat her father. Rachel, who is coached on Teesside, said she was looking forward to the tournament in California.She said:"I think it will be really good because I'll get to meet other girls who play golf." Her coach Alex Wrigley said Rachel's talent stood out from other children in her age.He said: "It's a very big deal. All the big names have won this competition. They were a little bit older than her as well." They weren't in it when they were six years so she's in it before those guys."
