European triumph

The PGAs of Europe International Team Championship trophy is back in the Scottish PGA's cabinet of silverware after a six year absence as the Tartan Tour trio of David Orr, David Patrick and Gareth Wright set the seal on a comprehensive triumph in Portugal yesterday, writes Nick Rodger.

Leading by fiv e shots heading into the closing round, the Scots cantered over the finishing line with a level-par 144 – their worst tally of the week – for a 16-under aggregate of 560 and a nine-stroke win over England and the Netherlands. It was Scotland's seventh victory in the championship and a first since the trio of Jim McKinnon, Sam Cairns and Craig Lee plundered the honours in Murcia back in 2006.
