No one has ever put a U.S. defender in as big a hole as Team New Zealand has Dennis Conner three races into the America’s Cup.

Black Magic 1 continued to cast its awesome spell over the best-known sailor in the world, beating Conner’s borrowed Young America by 1 minute, 51 seconds.

For the first time in 144 years, a foreign yacht is up 3-0 against the best America has to offer. The America’s Cup is a best-of-nine series.
