This would mean that team Captains, Stanley Hennessy (Europe) and Alfie Moy (USA), would have to play the extra holes if needed, but as it turned out it wasn’t.
We had five matches played with Luke R and George S (John and Jenny Owens grandson) taking the point for team USA in match one against Ruby and Lily. In match two it was a much tougher game that ended in a tie for team USA’s Henry D and Stinger against Team Europe’s Rylee and Oliver C. Match three also went to USA with a 3&2 win for Oliver K (son of Dave King) and his partner Oliver Field (Daniel’s son) against Oscar B and Rocket. Match four played between USA’s Sam M and Dylan H (son of Ken Hayes) and Team Europe’s Arthur K (son of Pete Kelly) and Bradley W (son of Stuart Whittle) ended up with another USA win of 2&1.
The last match between the two Captains and their partners, George K of USA and Brandon W of Europe was a well fought out match that ended with a shot from 120 yards finishing six feet from the hole to secure the half point for team USA, after being one down with one to play. |
