International Golf Challenge
The opening match of this week's special series of six programmes for Christmas between two of the world's great women golfers Nancy Lopez-Melton and Sally Little and top American golfers Johnny Miller and Jerry Pate. The matches are played at the Woburn Golf and Country Club for the Phoenix Assurance Trophy. The ladies play off forward tees but that is the only concession they receive on nine testing holes at the beautiful Duke's Course in the heart of the Duke of Bedford's estate.
Prize money of$60,000 is at stake over the series, which starts today with a four-ball match.
