Ryder Cup Update
The first four matches of the Ryder Cup are complete, and the US got its ass kicked. As I suspected, the US's opening pairing of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson proved extremely risky. Their defeat gave all the momentum to the European squad, who never trailed in any of the four morning matches.
American Captain Hal Sutton has a reputation for having guts, but I have always thought he was longer on bluster. He has paired Tiger and Phil together again this afternoon, further rolling the dice for his team. If Tiger and Phil are unable to win their match, the US will be very unlikely to win this year's Ryder Cup.
Friday night update: Tiger and Phil took the gas on #18 late today and lost their afternoon match. The Euros are taking the Yanks out to the woodshed so far in this Ryder Cup.
