Sonny Skinner had to leap from a speeding golf cart before it crashed into a bunker Friday, then rebounded to team with Kyle Flinton to win their match and set the stage for a big morning foursomes session for Team USA.
Captains Brian Whitcomb of Team USA and Gary Aliss of Team Great Britain and Ireland kept a close eye on the respective teams during Tuesday's practice session at The Carrick, and both men were impressed by what they saw from their players.
Nestled among the most breathtaking scenery that Scotland has to offer, The Carrick is a traditional heathland course featuring pot bunkers, closely mown hollows and plantings of gorse and heather.
