THE 2022 Mosconi Cup enters its final day of play in Las Vegas on Saturday when a number of singles matches will decide whether Europe retain their title or have to leave it in the US.

At the end of play on the second day, Thursday, the teams were level at 4-4, and with a mixture of doubles and singles games on Friday, it is expected to remain tight going into the final day.

The Mosconi Cup is a nine-ball pool tournament that pits the USA against Europe in a similar manner to that of golf’s Ryder Cup.
