The International team fought back superbly on the second day to win the Fourballs 3.5-1.5 against United States and cut the lead to just one point in the Presidents Cup golf tournament on Friday.
Though there is still a lot to come with four Foursomes and four Fourballs more on Saturday, followed by 12 singles, the fact that the Americans are now only 5.5 - 4.5 ahead should give the Internationals a lot to fight for.
Nick Price, the Internationals captain said, “Well, obviously it was a really good day for us. I think the speech, the talk that we had last night in our team room helped an awful lot. (It) calmed the guys down.
On his feeling at the start of the day, Price added, “I wouldn’t say I was nervous, but I think that you can’t predict. But I had to take care of business last night.
“And I think the nerves, the newness, for lack of a word, for a lot of the guys coming into this competition, it doesn’t matter how much you can tell guys what it’s like. Unless they have experienced it firsthand, it’s very difficult. And I think we even saw today, Danny lee, who is so into this week, he’s so — he’s strung out. The guy is, he’s trying so hard.”
