Goosen's International golf team wins Goodwill Trophy

The International golf team won the inaugural Goodwill Trophy 6{ to 5{ Tuesday, with Australia's Peter Senior securing the winning point on the final hole.

Retief Goosen's International lineup started the day with a one-point lead over the Europe-United States combination after dominating Monday's foursomes.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson won Tuesday's opening singles match 3 and 2 against India's Jeev Singh to level the score.

Most of the singles matches were close, with International winning three, the Europe-U.S. team winning three and the other two halved.

The Ryder Cup nations took something out of the contest, with Scotland's Colin Montgomerie beating opposing captain Goosen in their singles encounter.
