Women's amateur golf competition

The **Patsy Hankins Trophy** is a women's [amateur golf](/source/Amateur_golf) competition on the model of the [Ryder Cup](/source/Ryder_Cup), corresponding to the men's [Bonallack Trophy](/source/Bonallack_Trophy). The competition opposes every two years a [European team](/source/Team_Europe) and a team representing Asia/Pacific, and the venue alternates between courses in Europe and Asia/Pacific.[1]

The Trophy is named after Patsy Hankins (1945–2015), one of the most respected golf administrators New Zealand has produced.[2] The first competition took place in 2016 at Vidago Palace Golf Course, Portugal.[3]

## Format

The Patsy Hankins Trophy involves various [match play](/source/Match_play) competitions between players selected from two teams of twelve representing Europe and Asia-Pacific. It takes place over three days, with a total of 32 matches being played, all matches being over 18 holes. The first two days comprise five foursomes matches and five four-ball matches. On the final day, there are 12 singles matches, when all twelve players compete.

The winner of each match scores a point for his team, with a half point each for any match that is tied after the 18 holes. The winning team is determined by cumulative total points. In the event of a tie (16 points each) the Patsy Hankins Trophy is retained by the previous holder.

A [foursomes](/source/Foursomes) match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. On a particular hole the golfers on the same team take alternate shots playing the same ball. One team member tees off on all the odd-numbered holes, and the other on all the even-numbered holes. Each hole is won by the team that completes the hole in the fewest shots. A [fourball](/source/Four-ball_golf) match is also a competition between two teams of two golfers, but all four golfers play their own ball throughout the round rather than alternating shots. The better score of the two golfers in a team determines the team's score on a particular hole; the score of the other member of the team is not counted. Each hole is won by the team whose individual golfer has the lowest score. A singles match is a standard match play competition between two golfers.

Year Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Total points Morning Afternoon Morning Afternoon 2016 5 foursomes 5 fourballs 5 foursomes 5 fourballs 12 singles 32 2018– 5 fourballs 5 foursomes 5 fourballs 5 foursomes 12 singles 32

## Team qualification and selection

### European Team selection

The [World Amateur Golf Rankings](/source/World_Amateur_Golf_Rankings) are used as the main reference for the selection process, in addition to a small number of players selected by the captain (known as "captain's picks"). No more than two players may be selected from the same country.
