The 2011 Bermuda Bowl took place in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. The Dutch team of Sjoert Brink, Bas Drijver, Simon de Wijs, Bauke Muller, Ricco van Prooijen, and Louk Verhees captured the Gold, USA 2 came in second, and Italy placed third.
Alfredo Versace has enjoyed tremondous success, with his long time partner Lornezo Lauria. The pair has won every major team event at one time or another (Bermuda Bowl, Rosenblum, Olympiad, Spingold, Vanderbilt, Reisigner, and European Championship). Alfredo started playing at his grandfather's bridge club at the age of 10, and 5 years later joined the Lavazza team at the age of 15 and never looked back.
Alfredo approaches the game with the philosophy that the most important thing is to not lose IMPs. To learn more about Alfredo, check out the Bridge Winners interview with Alfredo Versace .
