Team USA wins 3&2.
After a lengthy delay due to technical problems, ColumbusStorm got us underway in style with a shot that rolled along the lip of the bunker and came to rest inside 5 feet from the hole. razza31 and I were on the back of the green and Corwyn just missed an 18-footer, while Russ was able to convert. 1up USA.
Hole 11 was difficult as always. Russ was right of the green, Corwyn in rough 30-some yards short, razza couldn't quite stay on the front, and I hit to the center some 33 feet away. I two-putted and no one else could get up and down. 2up USA.
On hole 12, I'd like to modestly submit my drive as JoeMaverick's best competition for the shot of the tournament. With a strong right-to-left wind, I hit about halfway up the slope on the right side of the fairway... and you can judge the results for yourself. Russ hit a very similar shot but wound up 7 feet behind the hole and couldn't make it, while Corwyn was just short of the green and razza ran to the back. I tapped in for eagle to put USA 3up through three.
That was the final margin, as we halved the next four holes. Corwyn hit some good shots and putts to keep ROW in the game, but unfortunately razza didn't really get anything going until the 18th hole after the match was over.
Russ cranked out an astonishing five birdies, counting the last two holes.
