World Cup win for Wales


Welshmen Bradley Dredge and Stephen Dodd captured the Algarve World Cup in Portugal.
It marks the first victory for Wales since 1987, when Ian Woosnam and current Welsh Mens Coach, David Llewellyn, captured the title.
"It's obviously huge for us and for golf in Wales," Dredge said.
The victory was the first for Wales since the tournament became part of the World Golf Championships in 2000 whilst defending champions England tied for second placed with Sweden.
