PLEASINGTON golfer Andy White has given fellow amateur Michael Hunt one of the biggest compliments by saying: "He is the best amateur I have seen in the area for 15 years."

White, who reached the semi-final of the Harold Ryden trophy, which Hunt won, last year, said: "The way Michael is playing at the moment he could push his way into the England squad.

"He's exceptional, he's as good as I've seen in 10 or 15 years in this area, he just has to fulfill his potential."
