22 Apr 2017 3:44PM (Tournament); 43 Readers
Has a 2.5y h1... fails it badly to give a 6y lift for the world. Hoop stroke looked OK but it wasn't an ideal one to miss
22 Apr 2017 3:45PM (Tournament); 43 Readers

Morgan peeling 4b going to 1b.. 2b pioner is back at 4b so will be at least a reasonable turn to finish
