Phoenix Cup 2021: Motherwell golfer Paul Higgins helps Team Scotland beat Auld Enemy

The Phoenix Cup was created by Scottish Disability Golf and is the disabled version of the Ryder/Solheim Cup.

Speaking of Team Scotland’s win over the English in year 27 of the tournament, Scotland captain Jim Gales said: “It was a wonderful opportunity to take on the Auld Enemy over the fairways of one of our best and certainly most welcoming golf clubs for players with disabilities.

"Day one saw a split in the scores with a 3-3 finish, but Scotland took an advantage after the fourballs and a 7-5 lead into day three singles and victory with another 7-5 win. We must praise the Elmwood staff and greenkeepers for a great welcome and course for our competition and we will certainly be back for another visit.”
