casey/karlsson v cink/henry
Karlsson and Casey earned a half.
Any doubts over rookie Karlsson were dispelled at the third with a seven-foot birdie putt at the short third to bring the match back to all-square. Casey then eagled the fourth after a stunning three wood to five feet to go one up before Karlsson's par four at the seventh was enough to double their lead after his partner and Cink found water. The big Swede carded another birdie at the ninth to go three up but Henry's approach for a tap in at the 11th won one back for the USA. American rookie Henry's confidence grew and at the next he hit his tee shot to within six feet to cut the lead to one. The short 14th saw Cink sink a six-footer to bring the teams level and Henry then birdied the next. But after Casey holed a 30-footer for birdie at the par-five 16th the American missed from four feet and it was back to all square. Both Europeans had eagle putts to win at the last but had to settle for a half.
