Temperatures of just five degrees lashed the course at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas, which further hampered the Aussies’ chance of a last ditch revival.

The team, led by captain Lisa Jean, scored a team total of 715 – 44 off the first-placed US.

Great Britain & Ireland finished 10 strokes clear in third while Canada secured second spot. Sweden rounded out the field in fifth.

PGA of Australia Chief Executive Officer Gavin Kirkman said the tournament has been a resounding success.

“I feel very proud to be at the inaugural event and the way our Australian Team has represented our Association and our Country,” Mr Kirkman said.

“All five Team Australia players were in good form on a challenging course. The competition has been a great success and promoting women in the PGA.

“I was very proud of our team on and off the golf course and the relationships built by all team members and the spirit in which the played was outstanding.”

Team captain Lisa Jean lead from the front hitting the history-making first tee shot on round 1.

The Australian team featured the country’s best vocational female PGA Professionals with captain Lisa and Jade Fisher (both from VIC) playing alongside Gillian Rae (NSW), Bronte Colbert (WA) and Sienna Voglis (VIC).

They competed on the Fazio Foothills Course in a 54-hole, stroke-play event with each team’s lowest three scores counted after each round.

The next PGA Women’s Cup will be played in 2021 and will become a bi-annual event promoting Women in the PGA and women’s golf.
