Day Three

December 17, 2006

Day three went to the very final match as Seon Hwa Lee broke an 11½-all tie on the seventeenth hole against Julieta Granada by halving it to ensure a one-point victory for Team Asia. This happened after two delays due to lightning that cast doubt on whether play would he completed on day three. The International team got off to a good start to the day, resulting in the drama that lasted right until the very end. The second match between Taiwan's Candie Kung and Paula Creamer from the United States went back and forth all the way with three lead changes, the last occurring on the 18th as Creamer took the point, winning the last hole and bringing the Internationals within reach. However, it was not to be as the Asians held on for a dramatic victory.

Famous quotes containing the word day:

    However, the danger in [socially unbalanced relationships] is that the subjection of the woman temporarily calms the man’s jealousy but also renders it more demanding. He ends up making his mistress live like those prisoners on whom light is shone day and night in order for them to be better watched. And things always end in tragedy.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    The thing about performance, even if it’s only an illusion, is that it is a celebration of the fact that we do contain within ourselves infinite possibilities.
    —Daniel Day Lewis (b. 1957)
