SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Former PGA Tour player Omar Uresti and Sean Dougherty won two matches Friday to help the United States take a 4 1/2-3 1/2 lead over Great Britain and Ireland in the PGA Cup.
Uresti and Dougherty beat Englishmen Lee Clarke and Paul Hendriksen 1 up for the Americans' lone point in the morning fourball matches at CordeValle in the competition for club professionals. The U.S. duo topped Ireland's Niall Kearney and England's Alex Wright 3 and 1 in the afternoon foursomes.
"Pars weren't very good out there today. You had to make birdies," said Dougherty, the PGA head professional at Oakwood Country Club in Kansas City, Missouri.
