Team USA on the Hill at Mosconi Cup

Team USA on the Hill at Mosconi CupU.S. skipper Johnny Archer, partnered by Jeremy Jones, took Team USA to the brink of Mosconi Cup glory as they scored a victory over Thorsten Hohmann and Raj Hundal of Europe to move to the hill in the race-to-11 competition. Things started brightly for the Europeans as they won the opening doubles match to take themselves within one point of the Americans. It was all downhill from there, though, as the Americans proceeded to win the next four matches to make Sunday’s play a formality Williams/Putnam 3-5 Feijen/Lely Mika Immonen’s decision to change his doubles pairings around paid dividends as a rejuvenated Alex Lely, partnered by the rock-solid Niels Feijen, went past the American duo of Shawn Putnam and Charlie Williams to pull the deficit back to just one point on Day 3 of the 2005 Mosconi Cup.
