Singapore wins big at Audi quattro Cup World Final

The 23^rd edition of the Audi quattro Cup for amateur golfers ended in thrilling tournament days on the Pacific coast on the outskirts of Los Angeles at the Trump National Golf Club. The teams from South Africa and Guatemala prevailed as the best competitors. The participants from all over the world had previously played for the opportunity to enter the world finale in 965 qualification tournaments.
