An excellent effort by New Zealand's Mike Day.  A very close game where high finishes won the game for Jeff.  The game was much closer than the score suggests.

Mike is a winner and will be gutted with the result but should be very proud of his achievement as he has worked very hard this year to get to the World Champs for a second year running.  

Well done Mike, we look forward to seeing you there again and supporting you in the future!
