Japan and Thailand share second on four points, with the USA propping up the pool with three. Reid was never ahead but fought back from two down with an eagle and birdie at the 12th and 13th holes respectively to square the match.However, Nomura birdied the 17th to put Japan back ahead and after the final hole was halved, it was enough to edge victory.

For me, its a huge positive.
