I hope I'm wrong, but I think this year's Ryder Cup may be a beatdown along the lines of Custer at Little Big Horn or Sonny Corleone at the toll booth.

[Maroon87]

Leonard/Mahan def Stenson/Casey 3 & 2 in alternate shot.

First point to the US!!

[Maroon87]

Mickelson/Kim were 3 down with 6 to play and came back to halve the match vs Harrington/Karlsson.:cool:

[Maroon87]

Campbell/Cink (US) def Rose/Poulter (EUR) 1 up.

US leads 2.5-.5

[rangerjim]

So much for Little Big Horn - Maybe the Revelutionary War all over again - we're taking back America from the Europeans..............

[rangerjim]

Update - now 3 -1 U.S. Even though Furyk/Perry gave up a one shot lead on the last hole to halve - it's the first time that Sergio Garcia has not won a 4 man point. He was 9-0 before so now 9-0-1. Better than nothing.

[Maroon87]

Perry/Furyk halve the match with Garcia/Westwood.

US-3
EUR-1

[Maroon87]

Sergio Garcia and his partner Jimenez are getting smoked by Justin Leonard and Hunter Mahan. The US team is 3 up with 5 holes left.:cool:

[Maroon87]

Poulter/Rose (EUR) def Curtis/Stricker (US) 4 & 3

Leonard/Mahan (US) def Garcia/Jimenez (EUR) 4 & 3

holmes/weekley (US) AS westwood/hansen (EUR)

US - 5 1/2
EUR - 2 1/2

[Maroon87]

What a great day. Hope the US guys can keep it up. Justin Leonard was making some bombs with the putter just like he did in '99.

[3afan]

USA up 7-5 right now .............

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Garcia/Westwood why are they being benched? resting them?

"We put the Europeans in their place even without Tiger Woods." gloated the Sinton GodFather while on his way to the snack bar for a morning cup of coffee.
