BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC -- They left no doubt this time around. A 4-0 performance on Day Three returned the Solomon Trophy to the British team and erased U.S. hopes of a potential comeback on the final day. David Maugham claimed the test winning peg in a +22 win in game two with partner Marcus Evans over Jim Bast and Danny Huneycutt. The score stands at 11-4 as matches will continue on Saturday, but it will all be about salvaging a respectable score. Six singles matches are on tap.
