Europe wins the Royal Trophy

The 2007 Royal Trophy was the second edition of the Royal Trophy, a team golf event contested between teams representing Asia and Europe. It was held from 1214 January at the Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand. Europe retained the trophy with an emphatic 12½3½ victory, prompting suggestions that it might be desirable to even up the contest by having Europe play a combined team representing Asia and Australasia.[1]
