a top-eight finish in each of the three qualification groups to be sure of pro­ gressing to Sunday’s final, or be one of the next top-12 points scorers across the three groups. Twenty-year-old Luke

that she retained her title with a record score of-9 and she also got her handicap down to +2. The funny thing is that last years boys champion, Marco


Penge, also won again this year which is also the first time that has happened.” He added: “I’m incredibly


proud that Sophie success­ fully retained her crown at Fairhaven Golf Club. She was obviously delighted to be rep­ resenting England again and she played superbly.” . In the Nations Cup - com­
