US Kids competitors card eagles, albatrosses and ace

Like Rickie Fowler with his shot that won the Scottish Open at Gullane last summer, a handful of young golfers have special memories of a trip to East Lothian.

French golfer Augustin Valery, 12, celebrates his albatross with Bass Rock in the distance

It follows the latest edition of the US Kids Golf European Championship on Scotland’s Golf Coast being illuminated by a string of spectacular shots.

They included a hole-in-one, which was achieved at the fourth at the Glen by Canadian Hunter Thomson in his final round.

The North Berwick venue also produced two albatrosses, one for 12-year-old Frenchman Augustin Valery at the 15th and the other for American Sean-Karl Dobson at the eighth.

They both came after South African Angus Klintworth had also made an albatross at the 547-yard par-5 14th at Luffness New.
