The second day was quite a contrast to the first – Phil was most definitely on form.
Team Wales met Team England in the 3rd round, with Phil pairing up with Scott Quinnell to take on Mike Tindall and Peter Jones. Phil and Scott won their match comfortably at 6 points to 3. This result, combined with another win and a draw, saw Wales top the leaderboard and set up a final against 2nd place England.
For the final, Phil once again paired up with Scott and faced Mike Tindall and Graeme Swann. Phil had a belter this round – making six birdies and scoring par or under on all holes – and he and Scott won 6 - 3 again. But, the final came down to a nail-biting finish though as Jonathan Davies and Ieuan Evans had only drawn their match and Gethin Jones and Gareth Edwards were losing. But victory came on Gethin and Gareth’s 8th hole. Wales went two points up with only one hole left to play.
