SWEDEN GO THREE SHOTS CLEAR ON
FOURSOMES DAY IN WORLD CUP
Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam and Lotte Neumann opened up a three-shot lead after the Day 2 foursomes play in the Women’s World Cup professional championship at Gary Player Country Club, Sun City, South Africa.
Annika and Lotte’s alternate-shot score of three-under-par 69 matched the best of a day when many players could not get any rhythm going in their foursomes play.
For example, Taiwan slumped from a better-ball 67 on Friday to a 77, a score also returned by South Africa, Italy, Brazil and Australia.
England’s Kirsty Taylor and Laura Davies had a sad 78 for 149.
New Zealand suffered the worst slump, plunging to an 82 after a first-day 69.
Even Scotland’s Catriona Matthew and Janice Moodie, well used to foursomes play in their amateur days, could do no better than a one-over-par 73 for 143.
The Scots are sharing sevent place with Spain and United States – nine shots behind Sweden with Korea in second place on 137.
Wales are the best placed of the UK countries with a pair of 70s for fifth place on four-under 140.
