Staunton and Collins Play Europro Event




The FORE Ireland duo of Michael Collins and Mark Staunton join the 2008 Order of Merit winner, Noel Fox, in The Motocaddy Masters which tees off on Tuesday at Wensum Valley Golf Club in Norfolk.

This year there will be a number of past winners playing in the event including the 2008 Tour Championship winner at Les Bordes in France, Robert Steele, along with a number of previous winning names like Matthew Ford, James Busby, Nicky Harris, Brian McElhinney and Graeme Clark - the 2007 Order of Merit winner.

Andrew Marshall currently sits in sixth spot on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit and plays a course that is local to him, while Zane Scotland featured in 12 European Tour events in 2009 and could prove to be the man to beat in Norwich.

This will be Mark Staunton’s second outing this season and first EUROPRO Tour event of the season having played the Irish PGA Sprint event at Killeen Castle last month. For Michael Collins there are a few additional events in Spain under his belt when he played in two Hi5 Series tournaments in Murcia in February.

The FORE Ireland pairing will be joined a large group of fellow Irish players that includes Damien Mooney, Michael McGeady, Gareth Shaw, Paul O’Hanlon, David Rawluk, Tim Rice, Darren McWilliams, Neil O’Briain and Brendan McCarroll.

Set in 350 acres of beautiful Norfolk countryside, Wensum Valley Hotel and Golf Club offers the Par 72 Championship Wensum Course that requires length off the tee and has smaller well protected greens, some with water, that need accuracy to score well.
