I was off by one point in predicting the whole match (but got the winners right). I tagged the top two point-getters for the U.S., was wrong in picking Sergio for the Euros (but who wasn't?), correctly (IMHO) tagged Phil as the biggest disappointment on the U.S. squad, correctly tagged Faldo as the disappointment for the Euros (he was), and in my opinion, got the key matchup or factor pretty close in saying the rookies would be key: the U.S. rookies went 9-4-8, exactly the winning margin, making that pick good too. So… yeah. Four out of five by my count isn't too bad. What were your predictions? Oh, right - you didn't seem to make any. :-P Rob Reeve said on September 22, 2008:

I NEVER would have counted Poulter down - really, really bad call, as has been born out by events. Mickleson was his usuall 20% brilliant 80% enept self. Weston, Padrig and Sergio didn't really show up, which is why EU lost. At least most of you recognised how good Kim can be. :mrgreen: :shock:

I was there on Wednesday and it just seemed to me like a little roll reversal going on. The US side is the team having fun and the Euro's are taking it more seriously since they are the ones with something to lose now that they are the favorites. I think the US takes this one.
