JOELAHTME PARISH, Estonia – The Canadian team of Graham DeLaet and Stuart Anderson managed an even par 72 but it was enough to capture the Omega Mission Hills World Cup Qualifier by two strokes over Wales.
The duo finished at 19 under par 269 to book a spot in the main event in China from Nov. 26 – 29.
Scotland fired a final round 66 to grab the third qualifying spot, three ahead of fourth place Portugal.
This is the second consecutive trip to the World Cup for DeLaet, who partnered Wes Heffernan to a T-13 finish last year.
Anderson’s previous trip was in 2004 when he and Darren Griff represented Canada in Seville, Spain.
Buoyed by their victory in the qualifier, Canada were feeling confident about their chances when they tee it up at Mission Hills Golf Club in the World Cup final in November.
“When Graham and I are both on form, we can definitely contend. We played pretty well today.
“We had got ourselves far enough in front that we could cruise along today. It is great that we won but our first goal was to qualify this week,” said Anderson.
“We came here to get the job done and finish in the top three and we did it,” added DeLaet.
“We are very excited to have the chance to play in China and we have a great chance to really compete when we get there.”
“It’s always exciting to put your country’s bag on your bag and stride down the fairway.
“Growing up as a kid in Canada you dream of representing your country at ice hockey.
"Golf is the only sport that I will have the chance to fulfill that dream with and I am really proud.”
