North America’s Team Spirit Unable To Capture Victory This Year!

The Provo Golf Ryder Cup, again sponsored by Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, witnessed some great match play golf on route to an International Team repeat victory over The North American Team. In a narrow 4 point result (21.5 to 17.5) The International Team again controls the coveted cup after the two day event which had 52 golfers compete head to head in the popular format. The win increased the International Team’s impressive historic overall lead to 16 vs. 7 as they seem both unfazed and unstoppable in winning nine of the last ten years. Andrea Todd and Grant Noble captained the Internationals who eased into to a slight 7 to 6 first day lead in the Saturday best ball format. North American captains Mike Eddy and Fraser Dods united their team for Sunday’s singles play as their side came out early with excellent results in the first 6 ladies matches before ultimately falling to the Internationals on Sunday by a convincing result of 14.5 to 11.5.

Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty Ryder Cup

‘International Team Rules Golf Again’

The Provo Golf Club Ryder Cup, sponsored by Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, saw The International Team defeat The North American Team in a resounding 20 to 16 victory over the two day event which had 48 golfers compete head to head in the match play format. The win increased the International Team’s overall lead to 15 vs. 7 in this 22 year popular competition. In fact The International Team seems unstoppable as it has won eight of the last nine years. Steve Ross and Andrea Todd captained the International win by jumping out to a large 8.5 to 3.5 first day lead in the best ball format on Saturday. North American captains Carol Brown and Mike Eddy rallied their team for Sunday’s singles play as their side matched the Internationals point for point over the first 16 matches before winning the day by a narrow 12.5 to 11.5 margin.

This year the Provo Ryder Cup enjoyed some of the best golf witnessed in the history of the matches as both the weather and the course provided the players with great conditions. All four captains did a tremendous job creating a competitive and fun tournament making Turks and Caicos golf and sportsmanship the real winners.

Although the tournament is a true team event it should be noted that the following 11 players played well enough to obtain 2 points by winning both of their matches; John Donatien, Chris Bruno, Graham Malyan, Will Shoreman, Lesley Stevenson, Andrea Todd, Agatha Delancy, Trevor Bromley, Rob Mensen, Mike Flynn, and Michael Goldberg. Many other golfers played outstanding golf as well but captured just less than 2 points which can be the very unusual nature of match play.

The Ryder Cup players and Provo Golf Club would like to thank sponsor Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty for making the weekend a huge success. The Provo Ryder Cup is eagerly anticipated each year and again kicked off with a spirited Wednesday pairings party where the Captains set the stage for all 36 matches over the weekend. The weekend didn’t disappoint with most matches quite close as many ended on the 17th and 18th holes. The one remaining question is yet again; “when will North America break the International Team’s amazing control of the Cup”.

Provo Ryder Cup Turks & Caicos

The Provo Golf Club Ryder Cup, sponsored by Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, saw The International Team defeat The North American Team in a convincing 22.5 to 16.5 victory over the two day event which had 52 golfers compete head to head in the match play format. The win increased the International Team’s overall lead to 14 vs. 7 in this 21 year, member coveted, competition. Louis Dickenson and Steve Ross captained the International win by jumping out to a 7 to 6 first day lead in the best ball format on Saturday. North American captains Terry Erskine and Carol Brown rallied their team for Sunday’s singles play as the North American side got off to a steady start by matching the Internationals point for point over the first 10 matches.  With only 16 matches remaining just one point stood between the two sides before the eventual International champions pulled away from North America by winning 10.5 of the last 16 matches to seal the victory.

This year the Provo Ryder Cup was marked by some of the best golf witnessed in the history of the matches. Provo Golf Club was also able to showcase their new Tiff Eagle greens that are now complete over the entire 18 holes. The new greens have been received with rave reviews completing the quality conditioned layout. All four Captains did a fine job creating a competitive but fun atmosphere making golf and sportsmanship the winner.

Although the tournament is a true team event it should be noted that the following 8 players played well enough to obtain 2 points by winning both of their matches; Paul Murray, Jumphol Srinark, John Donatien, Chris Lemire, Bruce Romberg, Trevor Bromley, Steve Ross and Jared Fulton. Many other golfers played exceptional golf as well but were able to capture just less than 2 points which can be the very nature of match play.

A very special, “Thank You” to our sponsor Joe Zahm  of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty for making the weekend a huge success. The Ryder Cup is eagerly awaited each year as it is the favorite annual members’ event at Provo Golf Club. This year saw a well-attended, spirited Wednesday Night Pairings Party where the Captains set the stage for all 39 matches over the weekend. Assistant Captains, Steve Ross and Carol Brown have already started to put their attention towards next year’s renewal as they take over the reins in 2014.
