GURNEE, Ill. – England relishes going up against the Goliaths of golf.

They’re thriving at the UL International Crown, where the Koreans and Americans are supposed to win and everybody else is a long shot.

Spain embraced the role in the biennial international team event two years ago, stunning everyone with a free-spirited blitz through pool play and then a sweep of Sunday singles to claim the inaugural title.

Now England is trying to follow the same script going into Sunday singles.

With a pair of routs of Thailand on Saturday, the English completed their second sweep of fourballs in three days.
