- Story Text: The United States finished in front at the end of round three of the Eisenhower World Amateur Golf Tournament in Saint Quentin en Yveslines on Saturday (October 8).
The four man team lead with 629 points, overturning yesterday's top score by Great Britain and Ireland, who drop to second place with 630 points and the Australians take third place with 633.
Britain and Ireland came back from a bad start to the day, a struggle summed up by Lee James, who had a poor afternoon before holing a testing five metre putt on the final hole for an eagle three to bring him a level par 72.
Scotland's Gordon Sherry had a poor day, finishing on 75 to provide the team with their non-counting score.
Jason Dawes of Australia played brilliantly by scoring a record 63 on the 72 par course, including a three metre eagle putt on the 18th.
Terry Woods, age seventeen and the youngest player ever representing the Americans, shot a 67 and their best performance came from US Amateur champion Tiger Woods with a five under par 67.
Forty five teams from around the world are vying for the Eisenhower Trophy which will be awarded on Sunday (October 9).
