A combined team of Scottish seniors achieved history at Pyle & Kenfig GC in
Wales, by winning the inaugural R&A Women’s & Men’s Senior Home
Internationals trophy.
The women’s team included Karen Ferguson-Snedden, Karen Marshall
and Wendy Nicholson. What an achievement! Well done, ladies, we are
proud of you.
This was the first time combined teams have competed for a trophy to honour
the best side in British and Irish senior golf. England took the Sue Johnson
Trophy for the 11th time as winners of the Women’s Senior Home
Internationals, while Scotland earned a bonus as victors of the Men’s Senior
Home Internationals for the fourth time. Both championships were run
concurrently with the combined team competition. Scotland topped the points
table with three points out of three. Ireland finished second with two points,
while England came third with half a point as the Welsh finished fourth.
Amazing victory.
“It feels amazing,” said Fiona de Vries, the overall Scottish captain. “It’s been
a fantastic team effort from start to finish. It’s been an amazing experience.
We’ve all got on really well together, we’ve had fun and we’ve played great golf."
