Asia took control of the Royal Trophy as a clean sweep of Saturday's fourballs at Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin, Thailand, saw them establish a 6-2 lead going into the final day.
With Friday's foursomes ending all square at 2-2, Noh Seung-yul and Liang Wen-chong set the tone for Asia in the first match, comfortably defeating Colin Montgomerie and Rhys Davies 5&4.
Teenage star Ryo Ishikawa extended their advantage when he matched Pablo Martin's birdie at the 16th to secure a 3&2 victory for himself and playing partner Shunsuke Sonada over the Spaniard and Italian youngster Matteo Manassero.
The gloom deepened for Europe as Swedish duo Johan Edfors and Henrik Stenson were edged out by Kim Kyung-tae and Jeev Milkha Singh by one hole after all four players birdied the par-five 18th.
And Yuta Ikeda's birdie at the 17th secured a 3&1 triumph for the Japanese player and local favourite Thongchai Jaidee over Peter Hanson and Fredrik Andersson Hed.
It leaves Europe with a mountain to climb in Sunday's eight singles matches to retain the trophy they won by a point in Bangkok last year, with Asia needing just two and a half points to secure victory.
