Hazlehead's David Law will captain the Scottish team defending the title at this week's Boys Quadrangular at Is Molas Golf Club in Sardinia (5-7 March).

A protégé of Paul Lawrie, Law will lead what is one of the youngest Scottish boys sides to contest this event.
 
Law finished runner up in last season’s SGU Boys Order of Merit and is delighted to have been given the added responsibility of captaining the side.
 
“It is a great honour to be asked to represent your country and it hasn’t really sunk in yet,” said Law, who is supported by the Grampian Institute of Sport, along with team mate, Jack Scott.
 
“I have had a really good couple of weeks leading up to this tournament and the captaincy was a privilege I hadn’t anticipated, so it’s an extra boost and I am ready for the challenge ahead.
 
“It was certainly beneficial getting some competitive experience under my belt ahead of the Quads, helping me to piece together my game, especially my short game and I feel a much stronger player this year now I can concentrate on my golf full time. Paul (Lawrie) also phoned a few times whilst I was in Portugal to give me some helpful tips, so I hope to put them into practice again next week.”
 
SGU National Junior Coach Spencer Henderson who will travel with the team to Sardinia said: “As defending champions of the Quads there is always added pressure to perform well right at the start of the competitive cycle. However, the individuals selected for this team have already proven their ability to compete well under pressure and with three members from last year’s team, their experience will certainly be beneficial to our prospects.
 
“The boys have worked hard over the winter months to prepare for this tournament which we have won twice over the last three years and this event is the perfect opportunity to put all of the training and hard work into practice and the outcome will hopefully provide a positive catalyst for the season ahead.”
