McGinley’s men keep control in Paris

BRITAIN AND IRELAND had the better of things for the second day running and now lead Continental Europe 6-4 at the Vivendi Trophy in Paris.

Paul McGinley’s side, made underdogs before the start because six top players dropped out, are heading for a fifth successive victory in what used to be called the Seve Trophy.

Simon Dyson and Oliver Wilson had their second win – and fourth in five games since first being paired together two years ago – when they beat Henrik Stenson and Alvaro Quiros 2&1.
