The St Andrews Trophy went the way of the Continent of Europe team after they defeated defending champions Great Britain & Ireland 16-9 at Royal Porthcawl.
It is the seventh time the Continent of Europe has won the biennial men’s match, and only the second victory on British or Irish soil since 2012 at Portmarnock.
The Continent of Europe took a 7-5 lead into the final day, and held that two-point margin at 9-7 after splitting the second day foursomes session at two points apiece.
With all nine players from each side contending the singles, Europe only had to win four of the nine matches to secure the trophy. The team sporting the European flag on their sleeves did much better than that, taking the final session 7-2.

A biennial men's team competition between Great Britain & Ireland and the Continent of Europe played during non Walker Cup years. The nine player teams compete over two days in foursomes and single matches.
