European Van Horn Cup 2022

2023 Date: June 2

Overview

Following the three-day championship, qualifying boys and girls from each age group 12-years-old and older are selected to play in the European Van Horn Cup, a one-day best ball tournament on Glen Golf Club.

Selection Procedure

Beginning in 2022, the European Van Horn Cup selection process will be slightly altered.

European Van Horn Cup participants will still be selected based on score after 36 holes (Round 2). However, beginning in 2022, players will be selected onto two teams (Gold and Blue), instead of the traditional Western Europe v. International team format.

Once 36-hole scores are compiled, the European Van Horn Cup selections and an alternate list will be published. The top four players in each age group (Ages 12 and up) will be selected, seeded, and given team assignments for the event.

Format: Team Best Ball Stroke Play

In each of the seven matches, the team with the lowest score after 18 holes will win one point for his/her team. If the competition ends in a tie, a playoff will determine the winner.

The Morrison Medal:

Each year, the boys and girls pairings with the lowest rounds in the match were awarded a Morrison Medal, named in honor of the late Sir Garth Morrison, who was Lord Lieutenant for East Lothian, and his wife Lady Gill Morrison.
