Rack 5

Neils breaks great has a shot on the one in the corner but it's tight in the corner and he hooks himself on the 8. Hits the 2 but leaves sky open.

Sky jacks up and makes a great shot on the 4 comes short on the 7 and hangs the 7.

Neils draws back on the 7 and shoots the 8 in the side and 9 into the corner to go up 3-2 and hold his advantage on the break

Feijen breaks wet in rack 5, leaving a shot on the one, but a missable one. He makes quite a nice shot but, somewhat unluckily, winds up hooked from the two. He it’s the two on the kick, but sells it out. Skyler should regain the lead here but he hangs the seven. Feijen’s gift was returnable, a rarity during the shopping season. Niels leads 3-2.

Sky breaks and runs in rack 6 to tie it up 3-3.

He got a little bad on the 7 but rolls ahead and gets the 9

Skyler breaks them well in rack 6 and has a pretty good layout, but the last few balls may prove awkward. The pattern goes a little bit wrong, but Skyler manages shot side shape on the nine and finishes the job to tie the match at 3-3.

Signing off. The spoiler issue means I can't stick with this thread. I will post between matches only.

Yeah, with two pretty big misses he managed to finish really strong! That's great going into match 3 for today.

Sky breaks and runs and wins 5-3.

USA up 7-5

HUGE win for Skyler and Team USA there.

After giving up two games early with misses on the 9 and the 7, Sky keeps his composure and plays great pool to win the match 5-3 and put the U.S. up 7-5.
