Isleworth win Tavistock Cup 14.5 - 9.5

Stuart Appleby shot a 6-under 66 as three Isleworth members swept their matches, giving the club bragging rights over Lake Nona with a 14 1/2-9 1/2 victory in the Tavistock Cup.

The two-day exhibition was between the two golf clubs in Orlando where several tour pros live.

Annika Sorenstam returned from California to play for Lake Nona, but the Swede struggled with her putting and shot a 5-over 77 Tuesday, losing both her games.

The matches were tied at 4 heading into the final day. Tuesday's format featured two players from each club in each group playing head-to-head against each other's cards.

Appleby shot 66, the lowest score of the day, to get one point over Retief Goosen (67) and one point over Sergio Garcia (73) from Lake Nona.

Isleworth captain Mark O'Meara and Craig Parry picked up all four points in their match, both shooting 69 to easily win against Ian Poulter (76) and six-time major winner Nick Faldo (78), who had the worst score of the round.

Lake Nona captain Ernie Els, who played with Sorenstam, shot a 72 and earned two points for Lake Nona against Lee Janzen (73) and Robert Allenby (75).
