 | Dave Kempshall One small change to Team USA. I've stepped into the team to replace Richard D who has withdrawn. It's reflected on the spreadsheet, but I can't update the notes on this page. |

| Dave Kempshall Match 4 finishes with another dominant performance by Team USA and a 5&3 win. This takes the score to USA 9 v 4 Europe with Day 1 now fully complete. Europe now need to finish Day 2 strongly to claw back some of the deficit ahead of Day 3. |

Rules: Fourballs is a doubles match again, but this time everyone’s full 18 holes count towards the scoring. Again, round 19 and 20 don’t count.
Out of the four people playing in each match, whoever scores the longest word on each hole (rounds 1-18) will win the hole for their team. If there is a tie for the longest between any of the players on either team then the hole is halved.
The team with the most hole wins after 18 holes picks up an overall point for their team. If the scores are level at the end of the match, the match is ‘halved’ with each team earning 1/2 a point.
Good luck everyone!
