Tegwen Matthews named Great Britain & Ireland Curtis Cup Captain

Tegwen Matthews of Wales has been appointed as the Captain of Great Britain & Ireland’s 2012 Curtis Cup team.
Having played in four successive Curtis Cups between 1974 and 1980, Tegwen won four matches, lost eight and halved two. More recently, she served as Team Manager to outgoing Captain Mary McKenna. Her team will aim to win back the Curtis Cup from the USA at The Nairn Golf Club, Scotland, on 8-10 June 2012.
Matthews, the first Curtis Cup captain to hail from Wales, said “I’m thrilled and proud to have been invited to be the next Great Britain & Ireland international team captain, and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead. It’s a great honour for me, my family and Welsh golf, and particularly special since the Walker Cup Captain, Nigel Edwards, is also Welsh.”
Tegwen will also captain the Great Britain & Ireland team which takes on the Continent of Europe in the Vagliano Trophy match. As an internationalist, Tegwen was a member of four winning Vagliano Trophy teams in the seventies, with her last appearance being over her home track of Royal Porthcawl in 1979. It is fitting that the 2011 match will also be played at Porthcawl on 24-25 June, where the Captain’s local knowledge will be invaluable.
Her first outing as Captain will be in the 2011 Astor Trophy (former Commonwealth) Tournament which will be played at Fairhaven Golf Club, England, from 15-19 June. The Great Britain & Ireland team aims to retain the trophy won in 2007 against teams from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.
