Press Release
CRYER AND WOLSTENHOLME OFF ON
REPEAT TRIP TO AUSTRALIA
Matthew Cryer and Gary Wolstenholme, two of England’s most experienced internationals, will represent the Engligh Golf Union in three successive Australian tournaments over the coming weeks.
The pair will contest the Avondale Medal over 36 holes at Avondale Golf Club on January 19, followed by the 72-hole Lake Macquarie International at Belmont Golf Club from January 24 to 27.
They will then move on to the New South Wales Amateur Championship incorporating the 72-hole NSW Medal at Pennant Hills and North Ryde Golf Clubs from February 2 to 4. The leading 32 players qualifying for the match play at nearby Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club from February 6 to 10.
Cryer and Wolstenholme made the same trip a year ago when Cryer finished tied second at Avondale and reached the quarter finals of the NSW Match Play.
Wolstenholme was fifth in the NSW Amateur and will defend the match play title after his 2 and 1 victory over Australian Tim Stewart at Terrey Hills, having been beaten in the 2006 final. Cryer, 32, a prolific winner in the Midlands, made his England debut in the 2005 Home Internationals, the year he finished runner-up in the Portuguese Amateur and the European Amateur and reached the quarter finals of the English Amateur.
He went a step further in the 2006 English Amateur and finished runner-up to Daniel Willett last year. Among his many other achievements, Cryer finished runner-up in the 2006 Russian Amateur and reached the semi-finals of the Italian Amateur that year.
In 2007, apart from his successful run in the English Amateur, Cryer won the British Mid Amateur Championship, was runner-up in the Midland Open Amateur and third in the South of England Stroke Play.
Last year was a memorable time on and off the course for Wolstenholme, 47, who returned from his Australian success to reach 200 caps for England before collecting an MBE at Buckingham Palace.
He also won the European Mid Amateur Championship for the second successive year, but there were also some lows with non-selection for the Walker Cup following six previous appearances, while a back problem kept him out of the English Amateur, a title he has yet to win.
