NZ vs USA Day 3: Hakes vs Huneycutt by Jarrod Coutts
Hakes B an K
Huneycutt R an Y
Hakes plays a supershot 3yNW of h5
Huneycutt goes 4y off the EB peg high giving hakes a free shot into c4 - won't be the last time we see that response from the Americans

Huneycutt calling a ref on for his 4th turn shot - what is that about?
20 Apr 2017 7:37AM (Tournament); 22 Readers
A bit of interaction, looks like Hakes had first chance at a break, but overapproached H1 and had to abort to a corner
20 Apr 2017 7:42AM (Tournament); 23 Readers
Huneycutt hit something and played some good shots to pick up a nice break. Approaching h3 and in control
20 Apr 2017 7:45AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Approaching h5.. it's looking very American on the lawns right now
20 Apr 2017 7:52AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
Huneycutt has a pretty good looking spread. First big shot for the 'Hakeanator'
20 Apr 2017 8:01AM (Tournament); 36 Readers
Nice little stroke. TPO or ball to 4b? I'm guessing ball to 4b after his efforts on the TPO yesterday
20 Apr 2017 8:04AM (Tournament); 34 Readers
It may not be anything as his current rush to H1 off the WB ball is pointing at h3
20 Apr 2017 8:06AM (Tournament); 38 Readers
He stops to have a good think about it. Music on, deep in concentration.
20 Apr 2017 8:07AM (Tournament); 37 Readers
Lays up level with 5 on WB. Huneycutt is near h3 and near c4. Plays the h3 ball into c3 so Hakes will have to dig the break out
20 Apr 2017 8:12AM (Tournament); 42 Readers
I think Soo has one peel done and going back up to it after h4
20 Apr 2017 8:13AM (Tournament); 39 Readers
Gets a rush out of h1 to the ball near SB level with h4 and gets a good rush into c3 so should be round now
20 Apr 2017 8:15AM (Tournament); 39 Readers
Hakes clip goes on h3 as he took off out trying to get a rush
20 Apr 2017 8:20AM (Tournament); 42 Readers
Huneycutt has a 2 ftr with his 4b ball or an 8 yarder with his h1 ball
20 Apr 2017 8:21AM (Tournament); 43 Readers
Sets a leave with balls near 1 and 2 with Huneycutt laid up in c4
Hakes misses with the ball at h1 Huneycutt has first chance for the finishing turn in g1
20 Apr 2017 8:27AM (Tournament); 42 Readers
Huneycutt finishes the turn in the jaws of H1 - when I say in the jaws, there must mm at best in it as the good Dr was required to confirm/deny
20 Apr 2017 8:31AM (Tournament); 43 Readers
Hakes has a 20y doubles.. the Dr staying on court
20 Apr 2017 8:31AM (Tournament); 43 Readers
Not today sports fans
20 Apr 2017 8:32AM (Tournament); 42 Readers
Huneycutt has done something.. but I don't know what. Good commentary
20 Apr 2017 8:40AM (Tournament); 45 Readers
Huneycutt now has a clip on h3 after another turn
20 Apr 2017 8:48AM (Tournament); 47 Readers
Hasn't got in front of the hoop so isn't giving away the innings and returns to partner near c2

Huneycutt has the first peel going to h6
20 Apr 2017 9:01AM (Tournament); 47 Readers

20 Apr 2017 9:09AM (Tournament); 45 Readers
At least I'm consistent.. something has happened but I don't know what. Huneycutt had a leave, but he had a ball on the peg and a ball on rover
20 Apr 2017 9:25AM (Tournament); 46 Readers
Hakes hits the short shot near c2 with his h4 ball and has a break
20 Apr 2017 9:25AM (Tournament); 46 Readers
Hakes on a break to 4b and in control
20 Apr 2017 9:30AM (Tournament); 54 Readers
Reasonable turn from Hakes with an NSL.
Huneycutt takes the short shot and hit, so that should be game 1 to Huneycutt
20 Apr 2017 9:44AM (Tournament); 58 Readers

20 Apr 2017 10:04AM (Tournament); 51 Readers
The rush pointing at SB level with 4 won't help though
20 Apr 2017 10:04AM (Tournament); 51 Readers

20 Apr 2017 10:13AM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Hakes made life hard near the end - after penault was Croqueting oppo down as the deep ball going to escape ball and croqueted it into it, the 'deep ball' then richoceted and nearly landed in the front of rover. Coped and finishes to take the second game 24TP to go game all. We needed that one
