In the morning’s foursomes, the Kingdom conceded the first point when Thongchai Jaidee and Thidapa Suwannapura lost to Masahiro Kawamura and Erika Hara 2&3. This is my first overseas trip, so I’m really happy,” said the Japanese teenager who only turned professional this year. Thailand fought back when long-time friends Ariya Jutanugarn and young gun Jazz Janewattananond fired six birdies with no bogeys to beat PGA Tour RBC Heritage’s champion Satoshi Kodaira and Sakura Koiwai 7&5. Thailand had to be content with two points from Jazz and Thai No 2 Moriya Jutanugarn and from Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Ariya. Despite a four-point lead, Thai captains Boonchu Ruangkit and Virada Nirapathpongporn don't consider they are in the driver’s seats.
