Jacques Leglise Trophy boys' international
FOTHERINGHAM AND STEWART WINNERS AS GB&I
LEAD BY FIVE POINTS AT HALFWAY STAGE
FROM THE R&A WEBSITE
Great Britain & Ireland boys team built on their three-point lead from the morning foursomes to take a commanding five-point advantage into the second day of the Jacques Leglise Trophy against the Continent of Europe as they strive to reverse defeats over the past three years.
Floris de Vries of the Netherlands was Europe's first winner of the day at the Notts Golf Club, beating James Byrne by 4 and 2 in the opening match of the afternoon singles.
Then came three GB&I successes - Andrew Johnston holding out for a one hole victory over Edouard Dubois after winning four of the six opening holes, Jack Hiluta beating Pedro Figueiredo by 4 and 3 and Michael Stewart from Troon winning by 3 and 2 over Daniel Lokke, neither GB&I player losing a hole.
Tommy Fleetwood, a winner with Matt Haines in the morning foursomes, found Sean Einhaus of Germany in commanding form in the singles and was beaten by 4 and 3. His foursomes partner was more successful - Haines was never behind in winning by 3 and 1 against Christiano Terragni of Italy who had achieved Europe's only result in the foursomes, gaining a half point with compatriot Matteo Manassero.
In the anchor position, Fraser Fotheringham, the young man from Nairn who won his place in the team by reaching the final of the Boys' Championship two weeks ago, was brought back from two up to all square with one to play, but won the final hole to give the home side a handsome lead to take into the final day.
