Hearn and Hadwin improve at World Cup of Golf in Melbourne

ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/competition/2017/isps-handa-world-cup-of-golf/leaderboard.html

After a disappointing opening foursome score of +3 75 which featured 3 birdies on the front nine, but was marred by a triple bogey 7 on the par 4 3rd, David Hearn and Adam Hadwin improved by seven shots in today's fourball, with a bogey free -4 68.

At the halfway point in this ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf they are T23 along with Scotland and South Korea, at -1 in windy, cool conditions on this Kingston Heath GC.

The leaders after a tremendous 60 today are Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen and Soren Kjeldsen at -12 fuelled by 2 eagles and 2 birdies in a front nine of 29.

They are 3 shots ahead of Li and Wu from China (70,65 -9) and 4 ahead of Spaniards John Rahm and Rafa Cabrera Bello (69,67 -8)

Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker are representing USA, they are T4 -7, 70,67.

There are 28 nations of two playing foursomes and fourballs over 4 days. The first World Cup of Golf took place in Montreal in 1953 as the Canada Cup and International Golf Championship and it was the brainchild of an American called John Jay Hopkins and the trophy is named after him. It was his idea to spread goodwill and competition through the game of golf around the world.
