America on the brink of first Mosconi Cup victory in nine years

Day four
Sky Sports Action, 6.30pm Friday

USA are 1-5 to win the Mosconi Cup for the first time since 2009 after ending day three with a 9-6 lead in the race to 11 points.

Skyler Woodward was the star of the show for the visitors on Thursday, winning all three of his matches to leave the US requiring just two points from Friday's singles.

It could have been even worse for the Europeans had Albin Ouschan and Alex Kazakis not routed American pairing Shane van Boening and Billy Thorpe in the final match of Thursday's session. The holders are 9-2 to pull off an unlikely comeback victory.

Each player is scheduled to play one match on Friday with a concluding captain's choice clash to decide the contest if the match reaches 10-all.
