The US though, topped and tailed the session with wins but looked slack in the middle as the Euros asserted themselves with three wins.

Commented US captain Mark Wilson, “The last point is naturally very important. We ended on a high after struggling through a few matches. We feel good about our chances from here on in. “Shane’s shot was one of the most gutsy shots […]
