nine holes

Before each match, teams will pick three players to compete in 15-hole contests that will be split into two sessions: nine holes of three-man alternate shots followed by six holes of singles head-to-head play.

Behind them, Hull and Esther Henseleit won three on the trot from the sixth to take control of match two, while Nordqvist and Boutier were six ahead after a sensational opening nine holes.

He called the back nine at Royal Troon the hardest nine holes he’s ever played and yet he mastered them in 31 shots.

Three birdies in his opening seven holes had put Rose briefly in the lead on six under, but Schauffele surged three clear of his playing partner with an electrifying run of five birdies in nine holes from the sixth.

And Sue and I, mainly we'll go out for like nine holes, which would take us like an hour and 15.
