Seve hails Europe heroes golf victory in Asia

DEFENDING champion Europe has won five of the eight singles matches to storm to an emphatic Royal Trophy victory over Asia. Dominating the Ryder Cup-style matchplay event from the opening day, the visitor took six of the eight points available in the singles, its 12½ to 3½ triumph ensuring the trophy returned to Europe for a second successive year.

Europe started the day with a 6½ to 1½lead and the contest was decided after the first two matches, with a 4 and 3 victory from Lee Westwood and a half from Darren Clarke giving Seve Ballesteros's team an 8-2 lead with six ties remaining.

"The Asian team didn't play badly. Europe played unbelievable golf - that's why they beat the Americans (at the Ryder Cup)."
