Kent golfer Chris Reynolds helped England retain their European senior men’s team championship at the weekend.

Reynolds (pictured), a member of Littlestone Golf Club, scored a singles win over Adrian Morrow as England beat Ireland 4½-½ in the final at Fairhaven GC in Lancashire.

He won three holes in a row from the fourth to be 3-up after nine and, although he was temporarily pegged back, a further birdie saw him home 3&2.

"This is stunning," said Reynolds, the 2009 English men’s amateur seniors champion.

"I thought we might win 3-2 but the lads pulled together as a team and, when the putts were needed, they were holed."
