ST ANDREWS PAIR 11th IN
WORLD CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Daniel Sommerville, pictured right, and Jamie Farmer, representing St Andrews, finished 11th of 18 in the world club golf championship at Sage Valley Golf Club, Graniteville in South Carolina.
Royal Troon’s Robert Ferguson and William Templeton came 17th in a field of 18 clubs from 11 countries and five continents.
Only clubs which appeared in Golf Magazine’s 2005 list of the top 100 courses in the world were invited to the three-day event which was played under a better-ball format for the first two rounds and then the aggregate scores of both team players in the final session.
Clubs were asked to send their club champion along with a player of his choice as long as the guest had a handicap of three or better.
Pine Valley (David Abell and Kelly Miller) won the title at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off against Royal Melbourne (Jason Perry and Dr Nicholas Wilton).
They had tied with two-under-par totals for the 54-hole contest.
Daniel Sommerville, who is a freshman student at Clayton University, only had to make a short trip from Atlanta, Georgia to team up with Jamie Farmer.
They had a 15 over par total for St Andrews.
Robert Ferguson and William Templeton had a total of 49 over par for Royal Troon, almost half of that coming from the aggregate finale.
