An eventful match in the books, to say the least. All four of us were sick, priestess coughing up phlegm during the match. We had a false start after our first hole as priestess lost power, so we restarted. Priestess holed out from the fringe the first two holes. USA won first on 12 as both Bartmania and JCOlson birdies and Priestess just missed low side. JCOlson got a little lucky on 13 with a 17 footer and simo calmly matched birdie with a 7 foot slider. #14 was just bizarre. Simo's seemingly perfect shot rolled through the fringe and hung up in the rough. JCOlson and Priestess hit it as intended, but despite a 14 mph tailwind both stuck to just at the top of the hump. Bartmania's shot drew an automated instant replay by wgt as he stuck it to 1 foot. After misses, USA went 2up. The rest of the story is below. USA wins 3&2. Priestess had disconnected before the end, so her score does not appear.
We caught some good breaks and illness and poor simovoice meter were working against team world. Enjoyed the competition and the company. Two great players and persons. Thanks again and good luck the rest of the way!
