ASTOR TROPHY DECIDER MORNING HONOURS SHARED

It's still all to play for in the afternoon five singles in the likely Astor Trophy title decider at sunny Fairhaven Golf Club, Lytham St Annes in Lancashire.
It's New Zealand versus Great Britain and Ireland - the only two teams with 100 per cent winning records after three days' play.
NZ have played three and won three; GB and I have played two and won two. This is the Kiwis' last match - their "rest day" is Sunday, the last of the five-day programme. If they beat GB and I, then New Zealand will win the Astor Trophy for the first time. No other country will be able to match 4 out of 4.
The outcome is still in the balance after the morning foursomes finished 1-1.
Australia are on course for their first win of the week. They lead 2-0 against Canada.
