A Scotland team of Laura Murray, Kylie Walker, Carly Booth and Laura Murray have won the inaugural ING ladies' professional invitational team tournament at Amsterdam International golf course.
There was a field of eight teams of three players each and it was a match-play competition with each round over nine holes. It is not clear if the ties were decided by match-play or by stroke-play.
Scotland beat Denmark in the semi-finals in which England's Danielle Montgomery, Hannah Burke and Florentyna Parker beat Netherlands.
In the final against England, again over nine holes, Kylie Walker beat Parker 36-37 shots in a singles tie.
Carly Booth and Laura Murray beat Montgomery and Burke 34 to 38 shots in the foursomes tie.
Other countries taking part were France, Belgium, Germany and Norway.
