Moor steers Europe to memorable Weber Cup win
EUROPE have won the 2009 PartyCasino.com Weber Cup X.
They won 17-11 with Paul Moor defeating Tim Mack in a singles match to seal the victory.
Earlier in the night, Mika Koivuniemi had a ball to win the Weber Cup in the previous match. He needed to hit nine but only managed eight and then lost a thrilling bowl off in his singles match against Jason Couch.
But it did not prove critical as Moor's victory gave Europe the trophy for the first time since 2005.
"It's just amazing to shoot a strike to win the Weber Cup for Europe," said Moor. "It was tough and I was not 100 per cent concentrating and there was a few little distractions but in a situation like that you have to try and stay focused as much as possible.
"I didn't bowl well here in the Weber Cup last year but I'm starting to get some form back now. Last year I missed three times late on in matches but this time I had the opportunity and it was the most important one."
All the action was screened live on Sky Sports and America had a 4-2 lead at the end of the opening day.
However, the fortunes completely turned around on the second day as Europe claimed nine of the 12 points available. They continued that form at the start of the third day by winning five of the six matches to move only one away from victory.
USA won three successive points at the beginning of the last session but the fightback ended when Moor pushed Europe over the finish line.
It was the biggest margin of victory since Europe's last win, an 18-11 success back in 2004.
European captain Osku Palermaa said: "We're happy and we've enjoyed the whole time. We were down but built up the momentum, they took it back before we won. We were a bit worried but there are five good men here in our team.
USA captain Tim Mack added: "Paul was just too good. I would've had to bowl the highest score I had done in the tournament but he was just too good so hats off to him.
"We bowled better than the score suggests and it should've been much closer. But Europe bowled great and we just couldn't keep up, our guys will be back next time."
