HANNAH DARLING - STAR OF THE DAY ON DAY 1 OF THE EUROPEAN LADIES' TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP


EUROPEAN LADIES' TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Royal County Down, Northern Ireland 


Scotland's Hannah Darling was the star of Day 1 at the European Ladies' Team Championship. A round of 68 (-5) at Royal County Down was two shots lower than any other player in the 114-strong field. "I did quite a lot of things well out there today" said Darling after her round. "The conditions were tough and the course is quite demanding in places so I just had to be sensible." 

 

Darling's round helped Scotland into 2nd position in the stroke play qualifying, setting the team up with an excellent chance of qualifying for Flight A.


Team Sweden, looking for a fourth straight victory in the event, currently find themselves in fifth position on +13. The team is under-practiced on the course compared to the rest of the field however, their golf clubs got stuck at Amsterdam airport during their trip to Northern Ireland, costing them valuable practice time.

 

The Czech Republic are currently sitting in first place. Five scores lower than 75 (+2) put the team on a total +1, eight shots clear of Scotland. Denmark and England, both with totals of +10, are in third and fourth positions respectively.


Ayrshires' Hazel MacGarvie (Royal Troon) finished 1 over par with a 74

EUROPEAN TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS IN ROYAL COUNTY DOWN

EUROPEAN LADIES' TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The European Ladies’ Team Championship will be contested by 19 teams at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland. Sweden will look for a fourth straight victory in the event, which would be a record for any nation in all 62 years of European Team Championship history   

The 2021 European Team Championships are set to take place at five different venues in the coming week from 6 to 10 July.

 

474 golfers representing 30 countries and 79 different teams will compete for six separate European titles this year.

 

Five days of competition await the players. Two rounds of stroke play qualifying followed by three rounds of match play will decide who takes home the 2021 European medals.

 

Tee times and livescoring can be accessed throughout the week on the link below:

 

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each team is made up of six players. Over Day’s 1 & 2 all players complete two individual stroke play rounds. The team’s five best scores out of six from each day count towards their stroke play qualifying totals.

 

Based on finishing position in the stroke play qualifying, the top eight teams from each championship qualify for the medal-contention Flight A bracket.

 

The format for the three remaining competition days is match play. Nations go head-to-head, with two foursomes matches in the morning and five singles matches in the afternoon.
