A 20-year-old from Marlborough will represent England in a biennial golf clash against France.
Lewy Hayward has been named as part of the eight-player team for the match at Golf de Chantilly, taking place on May 16 and 17.
The competition will consist of four foursomes matches each morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoons.
Mr Hayward has continued to impress on the golf circuit, boasting a top-10 finish at the 2026 Italian International Men's Amateur and the Lytham Trophy this year.
He also clinched victories in the 2025 Walton Heath Trophy and the West of England Open Amateur Match Play.
His performances helped England secure the 2025 Women's and Men's Home Internationals.
He is joined by fellow talented players Eliot Baker, Ben Bolton and Tom Osborne, who were part of the team that claimed victory at the European Cup of Nations last month.
Max Hopkins, another standout player, will earn his first full cap.
Men's performance manager, Ben Gorvett, said: "We had a great battle with France in the European Nations Cup recently and we look forward to continuing our form into this match.
"We are focused on righting the wrongs of 2024 at Moortown."
England have historically dominated the event, winning 26 out of the 32 matches against France.
Despite a setback at Moortown Golf Club in Yorkshire, England triumphed in France in 2022 with a 13.5-10.5 victory at Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Breteche.
