KEY POINTS:
Britain and Ireland levelled the Seve Trophy at 5-5 with Europe after the second day, even though stitched-up Scot Marc Warren did his best to stitch up his team.
After an opening-day defeat, Warren went to his hotel room and in front of a mirror decided to have a look at his swing, not noticing that right above his head was an expensive chandelier.
Taking his five-iron, last season's Rookie of the Year on the European Tour shattered the glass and sustained cuts to his head, arms and a particularly nasty one to his stomach.
Warren said: "I looked in the mirror and I was covered in blood. It was a bit of a shock. I had to sit down and calm myself down. I was a bit worried. I'd never done anything like that before, only hit a ceiling. I was only wearing a towel and I was swinging, admiring my physique. I won't be doing that again."
Warren had several stitches in his cuts and to his relief, he felt well enough to play with Colin Montgomerie in the second series of fourballs yesterday. Warren even birdied the first two holes but Frenchmen Raphael Jacquelin and Gregory Havret came storming back to win five and three.
For the second day running, Montgomerie and Warren were on the receiving end of the best scoring of the day. After Swedes Robert Karlsson and Peter Hanson had been 11-under, Jacquelin and Havret were 10-under.
By then, however, Welshman Bradley Dredge and England's Phillip Archer had already had their second victory together, this time beating Hanson and Karlsson five and four. Simon Dyson and Oliver Wilson then beat Danes Thomas Bjorn and Soren Hansen three and two but Finn Mikko Ilonen and Austrian Markus Brier withstood a fightback from Nick Dougherty and Graeme Storm to win on the last hole.
That left only one game out on the course and Faldo's two top-ranked players, Justin Rose and Paul Casey, three up with six to play, hung on to beat Spaniards Miguel Angel Jimenez and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano by one hole when Casey made a closing five-footer.
"That's two days in a row we've come up against a team holing putts from everywhere," added Warren. "I've taken a bit of stick," he admitted, "but that's only to be expected when you do something as stupid as that."
