\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Glenelg’s Jenny Lee will represent Australia this week as the search for the next wave of elite female talent begins in earnest as the time-honoured Astor Trophy hits Adelaide.<\/p>\n

After an era capped by Women\u2019s World Amateur Teams Championship glory in September, the two key players \u2013 Minjee Lee and Su-hyun Oh — have joined professional ranks to pave the way for the next generation to shine.<\/p>\n

And led by the remaining member of that triumphant team, Sydney\u2019s Shelly Shin, that time has arrived for four other young women.<\/p>\n

Shin, still 16, showed glimpses of being able to take that next step in Japan in September and won the Victorian Amateur title to round out last year.<\/p>\n

But other than Perth\u2019s Hannah Green, Shin is now the only player in next week\u2019s team to have represented Australia at senior level.<\/p>\n

Golf Australia high performance director Brad James said the Astor Trophy would be a great way for the women to show their wares against elite international competition,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for the next wave of Australia\u2019s elite female golfers to take the reins,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinjee and Su obviously set a standard that our next generation can follow and this tournament offers an opportunity to showcase their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Astor Trophy, formerly the Commonwealth Trophy, is contested once every four years between Commonwealth nations.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s staging on the magnificent West Course at The Grange Golf Club pits teams from Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and a combined Great Britain and Ireland squad.<\/p>\n

Each team plays each other once with foursomes in the morning and singles in the afternoon with no final and all results calculated on contests won.<\/p>\n

Shin, who also won the Queensland Amateur title last year, has been in sparkling form since the Golf Australia national camp last month and will be vital as Australia chases its fifth win in the event first held in 1959.<\/p>\n

Green, 18, the 2014 WA Amateur Stokeplay Medalist, represented Australia in the Queen Sirikit Cup in Malaysia last year.<\/p>\n

But the other Australian representatives, have never pulled on national colours at senior level.<\/p>\n

Glenelg\u2019s Jenny Lee, 18, won her state amateur title last year and was also the Lake Macquarie Amateur champion.<\/p>\n

Becky Kay, 15, of the Gold Coast, was third in last year\u2019s Australian Girls Amateur and was SA junior champ and Junior Masters runner up in 2013.<\/p>\n

And Brisbane\u2019s Gennai Goodwin, 20, is back home after representing Texas Tech in American collegiate golf last year.<\/p>\n

Next week\u2019s field features a host of the world\u2019s top 100 amateur players, including Scotland\u2019s Connie Jaffrey and South African Michaela Fletcher.<\/p>\n

Entry to The Grange is free and the tournament runs for five days from Monday, January 12.<\/p>\n
