Europeans play part as Lake Nona lead in Tavistock Cup
FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Both all-European pairings were victorious on the first day of the Tavistock Cup as Lake Nona built a 6-4 lead over Isleworth on the first day at Isleworth Golf & Country Club.
The event between the two golf clubs in Florida saw the ten-man teams compete in five four-balls matches on the opening day, with two points for a win and one for a tie.
Isleworth actually got off to the better start – Australian duo Stuart Appleby and Robert Allenby defeating South Africans Ernie Els and Trevor Immelman by a single stroke.
Mark O’Meara and John Cook saw of the challenge of England’s Ross Fisher and former Open Championship winner Ben Curtis in the second match to make it 4-0 to the home side before the tide turned.
Ulsterman Graeme McDowell and Swede Peter Hanson defeated Arjun Atwal and Lee Janzen by a five-shot margin, before another pair of European Tour Members, Retief Goosen and Henrik Stenson, defeated Brian Davis and Charles Howell III.
In the last game English duo Ian Poulter and Justin Rose – who were paired in the last Ryder Cup – saw off J.B. Holmes and Nick O’Hern.
The second round sees the teams compete in four-ball singles – the players are paired up but are essentially playing two singles games against both of their opponents at once.
