 | | The $1.5 million Dunhill Cup, first played in 1985 and once a magnet for the world's top-ranked players, is to be replaced by the $5 million Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a part pro-am, part team competition to start next year spread over three different courses. |
 | | The sponsors decided to change direction after this year's Dunhill Cup was weakened by the absence of many of the top stars. |
 | | The American trio who did make it to St. Andrews, Tom Lehman, John Daly and Larry Mize, was eliminated in the first round of group matches, while England, with no Westwood or Faldo, lost 3-0 to Wales, 2-1 to Scotland and 3-0 to Germany for its worst-ever performance in the competition. |
