News

At the end of day 1, Europe leads the U.S team 5 to 3. The foursome matches recently ended (though they are currently TV, with approximately a 3-4 hour delay) with the following results:

Harrington/McGinley AS Campbell/Johnson
Mickelson/DiMarco AS Westwood/Montgomerie
Howell/Stenson AS Cink/Toms
Donald/Garcia d. Woods/Furyk, 1 up

The morning fourball results:

Woods/Furyk d. Harrington/McGinley 1up
Casey/Karlsson AS Cink/Henry
Garcia/Olazabal d. Toms/Wetterich 3 & 2
Clarke/Westwood d. Mickelson/DiMarco 1 up

The Americans showed some spirit in the afternoon matches to get those three ties, since they were all losing at some point. Meanwhile, Tiger isn’t exactly cementing his status as the world’s greater golfer, going 1-1 today, and losing to a guy (Sergio) that he said he was looking forward to facing.
