JB Holmes takes 20 or 30 practice swings - God that would get on your nerves - before booming his drive 20 yards past. Not the events at the K Club, more the sight of Boo Dirs choking on the final three holes of the Ballybooka Cup."Ģ334: Sweet drive from Boo at 16, the ball bounding down the right side of the fairway. "The Gidea Park Massive - Gambardella, Ginivan and the Nash Bros are reminded of Ireland two years back. The crowd loving this, it's all gone U-S-A! U-S-A! Smashing. I'm going to give Europe an arrow for that.Ģ339: Hammer blow from Weekley at 16, ensuring a certain three with a peach of an approach to within a couple of feet. Lovely stuff, Europe halve the hole and stay one down with two to play. All on you Lee Boy.Ģ347: MAGNIFICENT FROM HANSEN! The Dane chips in to wipe the smiles momentarily from American faces. Westwood pumps his drive down the middle, but Hansen bottles and yanks his tee shot into the trees to the left of the fairway. JB Holmes climbs into his drive and the crowd absolutely love it, despite the fact it's in the rough. Faldo needs to get the best out of these guys or we're toast!"Ģ350: Weekley absolutely ram-a-dam-a-ding-dongs his drive down the middle at 17 and the natives go goo-gah. "Watching I do feel there is no natural leader/elder statesman in the group and that worries me. That said, the Dane could still make the green here. Faldo has a conflab with Hansen in the trees, although I'm not sure what he can say. U-S-A! U-S-A! A2355: Triumphant stuff from the Americans, with Anthony Kim waving the American flag on the back of a buggy as it drives down the 17th. Pressure? What pressure? JB Holmes saves the best til last, parachuting in to within four feet. "No pressure, baby," shouts a ruddy idiot as Westwood stands over his putt, and indeed there isn't - Westwood rams home from six feet.Ģ359: Weekley plays another splendid approach to within 10 feet before Westwood gets inside him. Holmes rolls in for his birdie and the pressure is on Worksop's Westwood. You lovely boys.Ġ002: Apologies, that was Hansen's third shot and he picks up. What will JB do now? HE ONLY GOES AND FOLLOWS HIS PARTNER IN! I haven't heard such a stunned silence since Richard Madeley presented his Ali G impression to the nation. Boo and JB fish their balls out, and they'll have to do something very special indeed with their third shots to prevent Europe from nicking a half.Ġ007: Get the wellies out Boo, you're in the drink son. Hansen follows him on and there will be two eagle chances for Europe.Ġ013: Faldo gets a neck massage from Michael Jordan, which is something to tell the grandkids. Holmes is at the front of the green in three, while Weekley splashes out to within six feet.Ġ016: Boo's having a nightmare - he knifes his third into a green-side bunker before Westwood hammers home the advantage with an approach to the heart of the green. Great, scrapping half from the European pair, but it's been the USA's day and Europe need early points tomorrow.Ġ018: Who's that with Phil? Mrs Mickelson? She's handsome, I like her. Westwood gets his eagle putt close, as does Hansen and Weekley and Holmes extend their hands. He takes about five minutes over his putt before pushing it wide of the hole. Holmes takes so long over his shots, if he played with my mates, he'd have had his clubs thrown in the woods by now. 0023: Holmes/Weekley halved with Westwood/Hansen
