Shaw shines in 'student Ryder Cup'

Gareth Shaw continued his collegiate golfing duties a little further into the summer last week when the Irish golfer represented Europe against the United States in the Palmer Cup, the student version of the Ryder Cup.

The annual event, which this year took place in Maryland, matches teams of collegians from both sides of the Atlantic but whereas the Americans cannot seem to win the real thing, their student brethren showed a clean pair of heels to the Europeans.
