December 9th | Nick saves the day

It was looking awful for the European side, as USA won three matches in a row and levelled the score to 4-4. So, Nick van den Berg's match against Johnny Archer was crucial to start with. Nick's game was flawless. He commented that Johnny, their best player, just didn't get a chance. Van den Berg: "From the first ball, I was in the zone". The end result speaks for itself: a 6-1 win and Europe 5-4 USA.

Chris Melling and Nick van den Berg (Mosconi Cup Day 1)

Today's results:
Van den Berg/Feijen 5-6 Archer/Shane, Europe 4-2 USA
Ralf Souquet 1-6 Mike Dechaine, Europe 4-3 USA
Appleton/Melling 5-6 Putnam/Morris, Europe 4-4 USA
Nick Van den Berg 6-1 Johnny Archer, Europe 5-4 USA

In progress:
Souquet/Melling v Van Boening/Morris

With this one match to go, the worse case scenario for Europe is to end the day with the score levelled to 5-5. On the other hand, Europe could end up leading 6-4. What will it be?
