She is more experienced than most teenagers, having played regularly against the lady professionals on the Paul Lawrie Ladies Tartan Tour.
Eventually, India, who was named after a daughter of the late Lord Mountbatten - Earl of Burma, wants to follow in her big sister's footsteps as a tour professional.
+India Clyburn is the second star England teenager to commit to an American university within the past week. Junior Vagliano Trophy player Alice Hewson (Berkhamsted GC, Herts) has signed a Letter of Intent to join Clemson University.
