Japan, USA Capture World University Team Titles

Canada's representatives finished seventh in the field of 14 Men's Teams while the Canadian Ladies tied for 12th among the Ladies Teams from 13 nations entered.

Yuki Usami, Shintaro Kobayoashi, Shunsuke Sonoda and Satoshi Kodaira provided Japan with a dominating 19 stroke victory over teams from Spain and Great Britain who tied for second.

The Japanese foursome combined for a 12-over par total of 876 over four rounds at the immaculate par 72, 7,000-yard Gary Player Country Club course where the best three scores each round counted toward team totals. Usami lead his team with a score of 5-over 293.

In individual competition, Leonardo Motta of Italy, who led from day one, captured medalist honours despite shooting 78 in his final round, 10 strokes higher than his opening score of 4-under 68. His 72-hole total of 2-over 290 was three better than Usami and four in front of Great Britain's Andy Shakespear. Kobayashi and Sonoda of Japan finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Canada's Andrew Robb of Richmond, BC and the University of British Columbia, finished T20th at 307.

In the Ladies team competition, where only the best two scores are counted, Katie Tewell, Laura Crawford and Michaela Cavener combined for 25-over par 601 to finish three shots ahead of Switzerland, five in front of France and 11 up on Japan.

Despite struggling on her first day Marion Ricordeau of France won the individual title at 11-over par 299, three shots clear of Tewel and four in front of Caroline Rominger of Switzerland.

Top Canadian was Christina Spence Proteau of Port Alberni and the University of Victoria who tied for 23rd at 321.
