Select Team winning 7-1 after fourballs and foursomes
British Girls Champion Henrietta Brockway from Yeovil, and 12-year old Lisa Maguire from Slieve Russell in Ireland brought in the only point for the LGU Junior Team on the first day of the GB&I Select Team v Junior GB&I Team Training Match at North Berwick Golf Club today.
The morning fourballs were all closely contested, and the four pairings in the LGU Select team just drew away in the closing stages as the weather turned from early morning sunshine to chilly east coast winds. Pairings were changed for the afternoon foursomes, and this time the Select team won three out of the four matches to record an overnight lead of 7 matches to 1. The series concludes on Sunday morning (8:00am) with another set of fourballs.
