PGAs of Europe international team curtain-raiser

VIVE LA FRANCE! YANN FIRES WARNING
SHOT BY WINNING PRO-AM
France, the country who won last year’s PGAs of Europe international team golf championship on the Costa del Sol, fired a warning shot over the bows of this year’s contenders by providing the winner of the curtain-raising pro-am to this week’s tournament at Roda golf course in the Murcia region of Spain today (Tuesday).
In glorisous sunshine under clear blue skies, Yann Yver from France – not a member of last year’s title-winning trio, led his amateur team of Joseph Grierson (+1), Pedro Diaz Sanchez (8) and Jose Angel Diaz (13) to a clear-cut victory.
Under the best two net scores to count at each hole, Yann’s team amassed the 21-under-par total of 93pt.
Their scoring hero was Senor Diaz, who, despite his double-digit handicapo, scored two gross birdies and six gross pars. The Yann Yver team had 48 points for the outward half and 45 coming home.
Runners-up were English-born Simon Payne (United Arab Emirates) with the team of Manuel Mortime (10), Jose Bernardo Gonzalez Sanchez (11) and Jamie Navarro (24) with 91 points. They scored 46 of them on the way out and 45 after the turn.
The professionals did not return individual scores.
