It was fabulous to have you be a part of this event Jason. You improved rapidly as the Cup progressed and have obviously got the skills to be a top-level UEL player as well as a flat-lie one!
It was a pity you had such an off-day with the putter, but it made for some incredible drama with Lu's long-putt heroics. Very fitting that this exciting match should prove the clincher, with ROW gaining the point that takes them to 12.5 and the overall win of the UEL Ryder Cup.
Congratulations Team ROW!

MATCH I :: jaycen129 vs Corwyn
My own singles match against Jaycen finished not long ago, with a 5&3 win for ROW.
It was a somewhat scrappy affair, with some disco problems as well, and some comical rushing towards the end, as Jaycen ran out of time.
The discos meant the card doesn't quite make sense (and I wasn't able to get the f9 one before the trouble hit), but here is what there was at the end (the real score after 12 holes was 4up):
#1 both found the green and shaved the hole with 30ft approx putts
#2 misjudgments from both on 2nd shots, C going 18ft long right, J finding left bunker: his escape made it to 22ft fringe below the hole, but putt not firm enough to get there. C had easy 2-putt down the hill to go 1 UP
#3 both didn't catch tee shot properly and then both shaved hole from 25-20ft.
#4 C's 2nd turned out very nice, but was heart-in-mouth as it nearly stuck on top tier. J found front bunker and when escape went left and long, C had less pressure on eagle putt which he missed low. J did also, and ROW went 2 up.
#5 J went 9ft long and missed curler, C hit perfect roll-down 5iron to 3ft for birdie and win. 3 up.
#6 J went 12ft long and just shaved hole again with downhill curler. C had pulled his 2nd coming up well short and left putt from below ridge short as well. halved in par.
#7 J came up short and pitch went 7ft long, C safely on to right but just shaved hole with his birdie try. Good save from J to halve.
#8 C lost 2nd shot right into brush, could only punch out, played decent 3rd but somehow missed from 7ft below right for par. Clumsy bogey handed J hole after he'd missed his 14ft birdie try from short of hole. ROW back to 2up.
#9 both went long right on tee shots, C coming very close again, and J managing to get even closer with his try. No luck on the putting today for either player...
#10 both went long with 2nds and missed downhill attempts. halved in par.
#11 J overshot green, C dinged one just past pin-hi left. J's pitch stopped short, got wrong meter on 14ft putt, but holed 16ft comebacker, lol. All academic when C sunk extreme curler from 13ft for bird. ROW 3up.
#12 C played drive long to pitch into ridge past hole and worked out nicely rolling back to 3.5ft which he sunk for eagle. J had incredible roll round the houses tee shot which went up the far right, around the ridge (when it seemed certain to be on top tier) and the rest of the gold-fish bowl to finish 16ft below, but he misread eagle try. ROW 4up.
#13 hit some disco issues here and had to return to this spot after restart. J went long with 2nd, pitch back still left 14ft and shaved the hole again. C made safe par from pin-hi right to go dormie 5.
#14 both players playing in crazy rush at this point to let J get away, smashing ill-considered 2nds long onto green (for maximum speed, lol). C lagged from 70ft, J amazingly holed 22ft birdie that he barely read. ROW 4up
#15 J's tee shot 15ft long, C stiffed his to 3ft. J missed, and conceded C's short one to end the match. ROW 5&3.
