Rose, Fisher on winning side in Tavistock Cup

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
English duo Justin Rose and Ross Fisher secured maximum points in the singles as Lake Nona beat Isleworth 17-13 in the Tavistock Cup.
Lake Nona led the host club 6-4 after the opening day four-balls, but with 20 points available in the cross singles it was all to play for at the Florida venue.
Nick O’Hern’s seven under in the opening group proved to be the best round of the day and captured two points for the American, but both Ernie Els (three under) and Graeme McDowell (five under) got the better of Englishman Brian Davis to leave the opening match squared 2-2.
Rose’s four under gave Lake Nona two points in the second match against Mark O’Meara and Stuart Appleby, with former Open Championship winner Ben Curtis taking a half off Appleby to further extend the lead.
The third match saw Isleworth fight back with two and a half points, Charles Howell III defeating South African duo Trevor Immelman and Retief Goosen, and John Cook snatching a half from former Masters Tournament winner Immelman.
Fisher, playing with Sweden’s Peter Hanson, took points off Lee Janzen and Arjun Atwal with his three under round, and Hanson’s win against Atwal ended Isleworth’s hopes.
Robert Allenby and Henrik Stenson were tied at level par in the final group, while 2008 Ryder Cup opponents Ian Poulter and J.B. Holmes went round in four under to split the final match 2-2.
