EUROPE RETAIN MICHAEL BONALLACK
TROPHY AT VALDERRAMA

By NICK RODGER
Scots Callum Macaulay and Wallace Booth were celebrating last night as Europe's amateurs retained the Michael Bonallack Trophy with victory over Asia-Pacific at Valderrama in Spain.
The defending champions, who led 13 1/2 - 6 1/2 heading into the final day's singles matches, edged the session 6 1/2 - 5 1/2 to ease to a 20-12 triumph overall.
Macaulay, last year's SGU No 1, went down by a hole to Japan's Yuki Ito in the top tie but former Scottish youths' champion Booth got Europe back on track with a 4 and 2 win over Quincy Quek of Singapore.
The Europeans picked up a further 5 1/2 points from the remaining 10 matches with Englishman Danny Willett showing the form that has taken him to the top of the world amateur rankings in a 7 and 5 demolition of former Australian champion, Rohan Blizard.

Final result:
