Aussies Close in World Club Championship

TWO Royal Melbourne members were narrowly beaten in the final of the unique World Club Championship in China at the weekend. James McMillan and Nick Wilton were involved in a thrilling final shootout with Chris Lange and current club champion Bill McGuinness from the famous US Pine Valley course in New Jersey. The US website www.golf.com reports that it took six holes of sudden death at Beijing's Reignwood Pine Valley Golf Club, amid more moonlight than sunshine to decide the winner. It was the final match after the weeklong match-play competition between 24 clubs from the US GOLF Magazine's list of the Top 100 Courses in the World. To be eligible for selection, a course nominates its club champion, who then selects a partner. Both must carry handicaps of 3 or better. It was the longest final in the tournament’s history.
