“Let’s be realistic because we saw them play today and it was flawless. They seem like good teammates,” Korea’s Byeong Hun An said.
The Belgian combination surged to a five-shot lead over Mexico, Italy and Korea, and were six in front of Australia ahead of Sunday’s alternate shot play where the home team needs “something special” to salute.
Aussie Marc Leishman was quick to turn the pressure on the Belgians though, declaring nothing was over until it’s over.
“It's hard to play with a lead. I’ve played with leads and lost them,” the Aussie said.
