Fourballs Day Two:
Hicks & Hay 60 beat Brownlee & Van der Merwe 56
Hues & Ives 60 beat McDougall & Talbot 56
Cartwright & Knight 64 beat Dunbar & Stone 51
England 7 Rest of the World 5
A clean sweep of the pairs games for England with scoring much better than Day One. Probably something to do with playing off the right tees this time, making the course 300 yards shorter and 2 shots lower on the standard scratch score!!
Singles Day Two:
Ives 29 lost to McDougall 33
Hicks 34 beat Van der Merwe 24
Hay 26 beat Talbot 23
Knight 33 beat Dunbar 30
Hues 31 lost to Brownlee 34
Cartwright 31 beat Stone 21
England 11 Rest of the World 7
A 4-2 win in the singles for England completes the turn around from Day One, from a point behind to 4 points ahead. Captain Hicks led from the front with the joint highest score of the day and was inspired with his pairings for the fourballs. The match ups in the singles worked well for England too. Even their lowest scorer Stu Hay won his match!
Pressure was now on the Rest of the World. Could they make a comeback? They would need to take 6.5 points out of 9 on the final day to retain the trophy.
