Stream End Game with Tony Armstrong on ABC iview<\/a><\/p>\nTony Armstrong will tackle Australia’s overdue reckoning with racism in sport, with the help of some of its biggest sports stars.<\/p>\n
Yin and Noh crushed Thitikul and Pajaree Anannarukarn 5 and 4, while Lauren Coughlin and Lilia Vu beat Chanettee Wannasaen and Jasmine Suwannapura 3 and 2 to propel the USA to the top of Pool A with a perfect four points.<\/p>\n
Australia (two points) are second in Pool A ahead of a showdown with the Americans on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Runners-up to Thailand at the 2023 edition of the prestigious biennial event, the Australians likely need to one win of their remaining two fourball matches to book a semis berth.<\/p>\n
“It’s going to be pretty exciting. I think we have a good chance come tomorrow, and hopefully we can put up a good show,” Lee said.<\/p>\n
With one point each, Thailand and China will clash in the other Pool A tie knowing only a 2-0 victory will guarantee semifinal qualification for either side.<\/p>\n
Australia being in the box seat to progress seemed unlikely when Lee and Kyriacou were staring down a two-hole deficit early on the back nine at New Korea Country Club.<\/p>\n
But four birdies from world number three Lee dragged the dynamite duo into the lead before Kyriacou sealed victory on the 17th hole.<\/p>\n
“We struggled a little bit in the start. Our games were a little bit off to start the day, and kind of came around maybe middle of the back nine,” Lee said.<\/p>\n
The pair are now four from five together in the competition.<\/p>\n
“We kind of had a little pep talk there on 11, a few swear words so probably can’t repeat it here,” Kyriacou said.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, we started off really slow and didn’t really give ourselves many chances and then Minjee started stumping it and I started holing some things and then it went our way.<\/p>\n
“We gelled.”<\/p>\n
