HOLLY Clyburn is ready to attempt to win the Faldo Series Grand Final for the second year on the bounce.

The 19-year-old Cleethorpes golfer travels to Lough Erne Resort in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, for the top Under-21 event hosted by six-time Major winner Nick Faldo.

The competition, from September 21-23, will see top international amateurs compete over 54 holes, with no cut.

She won last year's finals which were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Clyburn retained her Faldo UK Championship Under-21 title at Trentham earlier this month. Lauren Taylor pipped her by one shot in the overall standings but she lifted the Under-16 title.

Clyburn bogeyed the last hole and was forced into a play-off for the U21 title with Moseley's Elizabeth Haycock.

She said: "In the play-off I wasn't very nervous really.

"I've played in bigger events so I felt I knew what I was doing.

"I holed a 15-footer for a birdie and it was game over.

"I was very happy."
