Scotland pipped by France in play-off for PGAs of Europe team title
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Scotland were pipped on the post for first place by France in their defence of the PGAs of Europe international team championship at Gloria Golf Club, Belek in southern Turkey.
Bidding for a nine win in all and a third success in the past four years, the Scots - Gareth Wright, Graham Fox and David Orr - tied on 18-under-par 558 with the Frenchman who also had a team score (best two from three) of six-under 138 in the final round.
The Scots lost to the French at the first hole of a sudden death play-off.
Fox had the consolation of winning the individual event with a total of 14-under-par 264, finishing with a 68 to have only one shot to spare over the runner-up, Welshman Sion Bebb.
Gareth Wright finished seventh on 284 while David Orr had a dismal time with a total of 300 for a joint 35th finish. He did not have a team counting score over the four days.
