REDDITCH Golf Club's Diane Brian and Jayne Freeman beat off the challenge of almost 60,000 players from the UK and Ireland to lift the International Pairs Trophy at Mount Wolseley in Ireland, the biggest competition for club golfers in the world.
Brian, a farmer's wife from Hanbury, and Freeman, a health and safety adviser from Headless Cross, won the 36-hole final by a massive five points with 72 stableford points after making it through their semi-final in Ireland.
They won the final at Mount Wolseley Golf and Country Club in front of former world number one Trish Johnson as well as Sky TV cameras and were presented with the £20,000 Waterford Crystal trophy by Johnson.
The pair were the first women's team entered by the Redditch club and qualify for the International Masters Classic, involving all the winners of the first three International Pairs, at a venue to be confirmed in April.
And the town duo will qualify automatically for next year's final.
