Yesterday in Tampere, Epilä Disc golf park, the defending President Cup
champions Team USA faced the new and improved Team Europe. After the
strokeplay on holes 1-9 Team USA ended up leading with the total of 19
points against Team Europes 9 points.
Team USA kept their lead till the end all though team Europe fought back
as Swedens Markus Källstrom defeated the USA captain David Feldberg and
the 12 time world champion Ken Climo tied with Finlands Timo Pursio. USA
masters lost against Hans Tegebäck and Christer Köhler but again the US
women came through taking the important points as Valarie Jenkins won
Anne Matilainen and Carrie Berlogar got the needed tie for the win
against Birgitta Lagerholm.
Total score after 18 holes: Team USA 28, Team Europe 24 and the cup
stays with USA ang travels back home with Carrie Berlogar. This leaves
Team Europe and their captain Hans Tegebäck pondering upon what went
wrong. President's Cup tradition continues in the future with an even
closer battle.
