Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) led the G.B. & I. team to victory over Europein the Jaques Leglise Trophy match at Kingsbarns on 29th & 30th August.
Despite losing in both the foursomes and singles on day one, after which the GB & I team trailed 7 - 5, Stewart rallied his team on day two, leading by example with wins in both his foursomes and singles as GB & I overwhelmed the European team and took 9 from a possible 12 points to take the match by 14 - 10.
In the morning foursomes on day two, Stewart teamed up with Ben Enoch to enact revenge and beat the Italian pairing of Matteo Manassero and Cristiano Terragni by one hole, after losing to the same pairing on day one. In the afternoon singles Stewart defeated Carlos Pigem by 3 & 1.
Stewart now switches his attentions to Muirfield this week where he is a member of the Scotland team, alongside fellow Ayrshire player Steven McEwan (Caprington), who will contest the 2008 Home International matches.
