After losing the odd ball to the long grass and the swamp it was close going into the 18th with only one point separating Will &amp; JB (St Kitts &amp; Nevis), Alex and Rich Ayres (Sweden) and Lewis &amp; Ian (Ethiopia), with Jimmy &amp; Tank (Russia) fighting a rear-guard action some 3.5 points off the pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/worldcupgolf.johnroyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20180602_122651-1-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldcupgolf.johnroyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20180602_122651-1-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/worldcupgolf.johnroyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20180602_122651-1-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldcupgolf.johnroyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20180602_122651-1-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldcupgolf.johnroyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20180602_122651-1-1536x746.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/worldcupgolf.johnroyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20180602_122651-1-2048x995.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eighteenth hole held great trepidation for Will after falling foul of the rough for the last couple of years, thwarting his chances for a maiden title.
