Ten minutes later, United's Nicky Clark tried his luck with an audacious overhead kick but his effort was too high. Torrey Pines hosts the tournament for the first time since Tiger Woods' historic victory at the venue in 2008, where he played through the pain barrier to defeat Rocco Mediate in a play-off and register the 14th of 15 major titles, although Woods won't feature this time around as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in February's car crash. Erin Hills was defenceless against the power hitters in 2017, Brooks Koepka winning on 16 under, but worse was to follow at Shinnecock Hills, where the USGA once again lost control of the golf course which was ineptly set up against the elements on a farcical third day. With Group B wrapped up, attention now turns to the final two Group A matches in Sharjah on Friday, with Ireland first up against Namibia (11am) with the winners guaranteed to qualify for the Super 12 stage after their earlier wins over the Netherlands and defeats to Sri Lanka.
