Champs! (Again)
Team USA defends title, Flores takes home individual honor

TOYOTA CITY, Japan ? Well it?s a clean sweep. Just as I predicted way back when I was a little bitty boy, Team USA picked up some hardware on Friday, defending their Toyota World Junior Golf Cup title. Not only that, but Erik Flores - thanks to a 20-under tournament - won the individual competition by six stokes. It was a joyous day in Japan for the group of Americans, who ended up winning the tournament by an astounding 12 shots over Columbia. (more)

Day Three Round-Up
Flores, Team USA smoke field at Toyota World Junior Golf Cup

TOYOTA CITY, Japan ? If you ask them, most golf-people will tell you that ?moving day? in a tournament is the day prior to the last day of the competition. That?s exactly what the Americans had heard and apparently they decided to take full advantage. A tournament best round of 18-under is what they had for the rest of the field on "moving day." Erik Flores heard before closing his round that Columbian Andres Echavarria had broken his two-day-old course-record of 65 with a 64. Erik decided he didn?t like that idea, so he birdied two of the last four holes, turning in his own 64 to tie the new 10-minute-old record. (more)

The stars of the day for the U.S. team were Matt Swan and Nick Smith, both of whom shot a 3-under 69. Michael Green followed those scores up by carding an even 72; two shots better than his score from round one. (more)
