Iberian Team Cup

Olympus 1 win by eleven strokes at Urduna...

A select field of twelve teams contested the Iberian Team Cup on 12-14 May 2017.  The format was 18 holes strokeplay for one fourball and two singles with the two best scores to count. 

Catalan quartet Olympus 1 (Enrique Jaén, José Manuel Rodriguez, Dani Coleman, Victor Moscatel) dominated the event from start to finish. Enrique Jaén and José Manuel Rodriguez scored 52 for their Sunday fourball and Daniel Gimenez (former Catalan Open champion and European Team championship winner) added 52 for the singles. That gave Olympus 1 a 54 hole aggregate of 332 and an eleven stroke winning margin over Galician team Tambre (Jorge Carollo, Victor Rodriguez Charli Pena and Maria Escudero). Andorra's Casa Vella Aparthotel (José Luis Prats, Luis Grifé, Pepe García and Moisés Pernia) were another ten strokes back in  third place.
