Whanganui's Raj sisters may have beaten their Australian opponents but it wasn't enough for New Zealand to retain the US Kids Golf Trans-Tasman Cup at the weekend.

Tara and Sera Raj have returned from the two-day tournament which was held at Barnwell Golf Club in Sydney.

The matchplay tournament had six boys and girls teams from both countries competing across the various age groups.

New Zealand went into the weekend as defending champions but Australia ran out one-point winners.

The New Zealand team was selected from US Kids Gold qualifying tournaments held in Auckland and Wellington earlier in the year.

The US Kids Golf tournaments are a series of premier junior tournaments held worldwide culminating in the World Championships in Pinehurst in July which both girls have qualified for through the Wellington tour.

In Sydney the Raj sisters won both their rounds against their respective Australian opponents.

"It was disappointing not being able to retain the Trans-Tasman trophy," Tara said.

"But it was a fantastic experience playing in an international tournament."

She said it was an enjoyable tournament on what was a difficult course.

"The fairways were so narrow and there was water and bunkers everywhere. We learned a lot and made some really good friends."

She and Sera had been well supported by the Wanganui Golf Club.

"The support from the club for both of us is amazing not only for this tournament but throughout the year," Tara said.
