China’s Li Haotong kept up his end for Asia in the Eurasia Cup at Glenmarie Golf and Country Club in Malaysia on Saturday.
After halving his match on Friday with a 10-foot pressure putt for a birdie on the 18th in the final action of the first day’s fourballs, Li and partner Nicholas Fung beat European pair Ross Fisher and Bernd Weisberger by 3&1 in Saturday’s foursomes.
Fellow Team Asia pair Hideto Tanihara and Phachara Khongmatwai also won on Saturday as did
last year’s Asian Tour order of merit leader Gavin Green and Yuta Ikeda to ensure honours were even for the day’s six foursome matches.
Asia retains its one point lead going into Sunday’s singles, leading the European team 6.5 to 5.5.
