First four singles matches complete - the main event between the two top players, Shanky and Drew didn't happen as Shanky injured himself and being a teaching pro, couldn't risk further injury. Drew was also under the weather and showed great sportsmanship by offering a half for the match.

Jase (World) and Swingleft had a nail biter, the match swinging back and forward the whole round before Swingleft pulled out the win.

Jabens (World) had his best sim round so far and took out Leopd, a very accomplished player.

Ricky (World) struggled with this game, Toursauce didn't, so now it's:

World 18     USA 18

Another four singles played:

New sim player Catman (USA) played excellent, but even 5 shots wasn't enough to beat JohnMeyer's front 9 of his life.
Swede Tretee played super, but so did new simplayer Rrezk and that supertense match ended all square.
Dr Teshan is now driving around Leamington Spa with loud music and his UV lights after his 6&5 win.
And Welshman Cdog also had a great round to win his match.

So now it's:

 

 

World 21.5     USA 18.5

 

 

8 more matches to go, first to 24.

First to 24.5. World had stalled a little until World Captain, v8burble, decided to show the team how it's done and grab a 5&4 win. That'll rattle the USA camp - he took out the designer of Whistling Straits being played, Tekbud.

World 23     USA 22

And now Elchocko has mercilessly taken out the USA captain - who played despite being on death's doorstep with a high temperature. Fortunately for the World team Thinman's putter was cold.

Two matches to go  - Canadian, psgolfer, has posted a quality 5 under, playing to handicap, now Tonyd has 4 handicaps shots to beat it or it's all over.

And he's playing super well - 1 up with 3 to go and he gets a shot on 18. Not looking good for World.
 

[shimonko]

But no - Tonyd has three bad holes at the wrong time and psgolfer takes it 1 up.

 

World 25    USA 22

The world take the cup. Amazing competition - 16 per team - USA, UK, Australia, Sweden, Canada, ran like clockwork. Amazing work done by the OGT team - Zmax, Hoganwoods and JohnnyMeyer. Being able to play matchplay without trying to sync times for what could be up to 4 different zones was a brilliant modification by Hoganwoods.

If only the TGC Tour knew what they were missing out on.

[zmax - sim]

Great playing by all. This was by far our best run Ryder Cup.

And let's not forget about the final match - Aussie NirrandaBoy was pumped to play - put a great round on the scorecard despite missing a lot of putts. Unfortunately his opponent dropped out - the only match that didn't complete - so a default win for NirrandaBoy.
