C'Mon the Europe

Anyones thoughts to the key players ?


Personally i'm looking for a big game from Garcia & Westwood this morning

Always an excellent contest and it will be very close again. I think it will come down to how the rookies perform rather than the big guns, since both sides have 5. The way Luke Donald has been playing recently means he could make a big impact, plus he learned his trade over in the US while at college

With my favorite golfers being Tiger Woods(fan since US Amateurs) and David Duval(Hes going to be a good again ) I dont know who to support. I guess I will go for Europe but I do want to see Tiger do well and get off this slump of his. I hate Mickelson, Sutton and the other US golfers, cocky wank*rs to me.

Hoping for Sergio to keep up that form he has had of late and I think Westwood will have a good RC.

Im looking forward to that. Big weekend in England

Ryder Cup
Chelski v Tottenham
then Monday its:
Man Utd v Liverpool

Cant get better than that!

dont forget also the ICC trophy cricket here in the quarters, and Bolton at Highbury trying to be the first to beat the gooners

Forgot about Bolton Arsenal! I was thinking of something on Sat but couldnt . Going to the pub to watch that one. Arsenal will win 4-2 in my opinion! I know nothing about Cricket but the nation loves it so I should have added it.

Can someone post the Sky Sports Ryder Cup times please thanks!

Europe made a dream start to the first day of the 35th Ryder Cup, taking a 3½-½ lead after the morning fourballs at Oakland Hills.

Europe got off to a flyer as Colin Montgomerie birdied the first - and with his partner Padraig Harrington the next three - on their way to a 2 and 1 victory over world number two Tiger Woods and fourth-ranked Phil Mickelson.

The much-vaunted American pair never gelled and trailed throughout, despite Mickelson making a birdie at 16 when they trailed dormy three. But Monty's steady par at the short 17th wrapped up the win.

European cup veterans Darren Clarke and Miguel Angel Jimenez fared even better, crushing Davis Love III and Chad Campbell 5 and 4.

Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood also started impressively and closed out their match against David Toms and Jim Furyk 5 and 3 on the 15th green.

Incredibly, the Americans never led in any match all morning and had to battle for a half point in the third match.

The contest between Chris Riley and Stewart Cink and Paul McGinley and Luke Donald was a lot closer affair throughout.

McGinley put Europe ahead with a birdie at 13, but Cink rolled in a birdie putt at 15 to level it, then lipped the cup for a birdie and a win at 16.

The match went up the 18th all square and Cink, Riley and Donald all found the fairway. But only Donald found the green with his approach and after Cink missed his par putt, Riley was forced to hole a clutch six-footer for the Americans' only half point of the morning.

USA 1 1/2 - Europe 6 1/2


Amazing days play from the Europeans, every man who played did their bit, and it's as good a start as we could ever have wished for

GO EUROPE!
