Europe Leads Skechers Cup After Day One Thriller

Europe established an early lead in the Skechers World Champions Cup after the opening day's matches at Feather Sound Country Club. The unique scoring system, awarding points for each hole in the nine-hole contests, contributed to a tightly contested competition.

Former Ryder Cup captains Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn highlighted the day, winning their modified alternate-shot matches. Soren Kjeldsen and Alex Cejka proved to be standout performers for the European team, accumulating 20 points each and helping their side achieve a total of 57 points.

The U.S. and International teams are closely trailing, both ending the first day with 52.5 points. With two more sessions scheduled for Friday and concluding singles matches on Sunday, the tournament remains highly competitive and unpredictable.
