Coventry are Warwickshire Cup winners for 2004 |
 |
|
With five players in the County squads, plus the recently ‘retired’ Peter Holt (not so retired as you will read later), the Coventry team was regarded as the favourites for the 2004 Warwickshire Cup final, the fifth year of the trophy, and they fully justified this position with some outstanding play. |

Cevaer wins as Whitehouse suffers |
| FUERTEVENTURA, Canary Islands (AP) _ Christian Cevaer shot eagle-twos on
the first and 16th holes Sunday then safely parred the last two for a 69 to win the Spanish Open by one stroke.
The 34-year-old Frenchman, a psychology graduate from Stanford University - Tiger Woods' alma mater - fired in a 137-yard pitching wedge at the first and holed a lob wedge from 53 yards at the 16th to set up victory over three players, Ricardo Gonzales of Argentina, Peter Hedblom of Sweden and David Park of Wales.

Gonzalez sneaks up on Park |
 |
|
FUERTEVENURA, Canary Islands - David Park of Wales may struggle to hold
off the rampant Argentine Ricardo Gonzalez in the final round of the Spanish Open on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura of Sunday.
The 29-year-old London resident could only muster a one-over-par 71 in
Saturday's third round and Gonzalez closed him down with a 64 that shared the honours for the day's best round with another Welshman, Bradley Dredge.
Park, still one shot clear after beginning the round four ahead, will have to rediscover his putting touch in the last round after leaving several putts inches short on Saturday.

Four times champions – the record in 2005? |
| Ben Stafford was 3 down and had four birdies in his next five holes – and was still 2 down. Sam Foster put 10 birdies and an eagle ‘on the board’ against his two Sunday opponents. There were over 25 ‘red numbers’ from Warwickshire Juniors just on Sunday afternoon as our County equalled the record of Gloucs from the 70’s. |

Gonzalez regains driving ability to win title |
 |
|
Seville, Spain - Ricardo Gonzalez waited until the last holes before he began to look like a champion. Then over the last five, there was no holding him.
A diabolical display of driving left him looking exceedingly vulnerable until he finally rediscovered the secret and hit the last four fairways after finding the target just once in the previous 27 holes.
The result was that he birdied three of those final five for a 69 to win by two strokes from Steven Gallacher and Jonathan Lomas.
