Sweden win 2008 Women’s World Amateur Team Championship

The equally prestigious men’s event where 72 teams will compete for the Eisenhower Trophy begins this Thursday. The two courses are long, sand belt courses which may suit more of a links style of golfer. Adelaide has had very little rain for years now and the ball will be hard to stop on these greens. The USA have won the event many times and must go in as favourites but with The Netherlands winning last time in South Africa and home course advantage to the Aussies, who knows. There should be some great golf on display by some of the future’s golfing stars.
