Europe increases lead

BANGKOK: Seve Ballesteros' Europe team took a commanding 6-1/2 to 1-1/2 lead over Asia on Saturday after dominating the second day's fourball matches at the Ryder Cup-style Royal Trophy golf tournament.

Tetsuji Hiratsuka of Japan and Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant blew a three-stroke lead on the front nine to fall one down to England's Anthony Wall and Irishman Paul McGinleyRyder Cup player Robert Karlsson and fellow Swede Niclas Fasth came back from a one down to halve their match with Asian No. 1 Jeev Milkha Singh of India and South Korea's S.K.
