A BICESTER schoolgirl is set to follow in the footsteps of Tiger Woods when she competes at the IMG Academy Junior World Championships next month.

Ardley’s Lucie Feaver, will take on some of the best young golfers on the planet in San Diego from July 12-14.

The eight-year-old, who attends Fringford Church of England Primary School, is preparing to compete in the 7-8 Girls Division at the Pine Glen Sycuan Resort.

She booked her place after coming second in the IMG Junior World Qualifier at Hoebridge, Woking, earlier this year.

Fourteen-time major winner Woods and Ernie Els are among the previous winners of the competition, which includes tournaments for under six to 15-17-year-olds.

Feaver started playing golf at the age of five and has been taking lessons with Witney Lakes Resort pro Deana Rushworth.

Her father Ian said: “She is doing really well.

“She started playing in competitions eight or nine months ago, but she usually competes against children who are ten, 11 and 12 years old and has been getting in the top four.

“It is going to be an extremely high standard, but we are not taking her there with any expectation, just to enjoy the experience.”

NORTH Oxford's president Mike Lewis had a hole-in-one at the 175-yard sixth hole during their seniors' 3-2 victory over Burford.

The club’s professional, Lee Jackson, achieved the same feat at the 133-yard 11th while giving a lesson.

TADMARTON Heath will play Burford in the quarter-finals of the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League KO Cup after a 2-1 home win against Chiltern Forest.
