Swindon news, sport, classifieds and more from the Swindon Advertiser: "WILTSHIRE amateur golf champion Sam Matton will spend the rest of his winter in America as he prepares to make his England debut in 2008.
The 19-year-old former Kingsdown schoolboy jets out to Florida later this month to take part in the Moonlight Golf Tour, a year-round competition for professional and aspiring golfers in the Sunshine State.
Matton, who has just earned a call-up to the England Under 21 squad, is keen to build on a golden 2007, which saw him collect five titles including the Colts' Championship, the South Western Counties Championship and the Welsh Open Youths' Championship.
The plus-one handicapper, who plays at both Bowood and Broome Manor, hopes the experience of playing alongside some practising PGA Tour pros will stand him in good stead for the months ahead.
He said: 'I've been out to America before and it is a very high standard.
'You get some PGA Tour players and Asia Tour players on the Moonlight Tour, all brushing up on their skills for the new season."
