PLEASINGTON golf star Brogan Townend is among five winners from the 2011 Faldo Series Europe Grand Final that will travel to China next month for the Faldo Series Asia title.

It will be 17-year-old Townend’s second trip to the World Amateur Golf ranking event at Missions Hills, following an earlier appearance in 2009.

The Clitheroe Grammar School student won the Faldo Series Grand Final girls title at Lough Erne last season.

Townend, a two-time Lancashire junior champion from Mellor, will head off to America in August for a golf scholarship.
