California dreaming on such a day like this ...
PGA NEWS RELEASE
Nathaniel Sylvester in California
It was a day for heroes at CordeValle, California as Great Britain and Ireland’s PGA Cup lions roared back into contention against the might of America.
Jon Bevan’s team nicked the Saturday morning four-balls 2.5-1.5 and then, under a scorching sun, shared the foursomes to tie the match 8-8 going into the Sunday singles.
Among those to shine was Royal Dublin's Niall Kearney who bagged two points while Jason Levermore and Tartan Tour Welshman Gareth Wright are unbeaten in four matches.
But there was plenty on the line as the third session neared its climax. Trailing in three matches as they hit the turn in the foursomes, GB and I displayed the kind of grit and determination exhibited by their captain in his PGA Cup playing days.
As a result they head into the Sunday singles with a realistic chance of making history with a first win on US soil.
