It's been a nice charge, but seems to be running out of steam as Europe's vice on this cup tightens. Furyk would need to eke out a half by winning the 18th against Donald on a Par 5. Mahan would have to turn around his anchor match and beat McDowell. Valiant but it looks like it's on the Illinois in 2 years.

Got to appreciate the way Furyk battled back against Donald, who to me has been Europe's best player by far, but he did kind of choke on that approach shot on 18

Still pretty exciting stuff...good to see Tiger & Phil playing well..

Need either Fowler, Mahan or Watson to turn the tables here..

Holy crap, Tiger is on fire. 8 under through 13.

Looks like it's up to Mahan now.

At this point it would require a miracle to overcome session 3. Fowler is toast, and Watson would have to scratch out a half against the plucky hard nosed Jimenez or Mahan having to win the anchor match outright to make it 14 to 14 for the "infamous" retaining the cup.

Furyk is a battler, but it was a fairly rough cup for him. The last Sunday session drubbing the EUROS applied makes it all seem tough. The rain giveth to the Americans on Friday/Saturday and the EURO squad and change of format taketh away.

For match-play the trailing player would rather have a tough par 4 that could be won with a par, because on a par 5 players at this level are probably both going to make birdie to halve the hole and eagles are so rare even if the par 5 were to be a short one.

Just watched Watson come up short on another putt. You would think by now, they would know you have to hit it to get it to the hole. Oh well, yesterday's disaster just too much to overcome.

Mahan's been poor all day, can't see him turning that match around. It's over.

Well, Mahan now only down 2 with 6 to go. Man, if he can just get back even with 1 or 2 to play, McDowell will have SO MUCH pressure on him to try and hold onto that 1/2 point that it would be really fun to watch.

Either way, I would love to see it - thousands of Euros getting their heart ripped our or enjoying the jubilation of winning on 18.

I hope the last match goes to the 18th, it's a great hole to finish on. Mahan would need to win a hole for that to happen.

Does Euro win if it's 14½ to 13½?

Yeah, I think so.

Like the hatless look of the Euros.

Come on Mahan. Dig deep.

    • 39/39/78 for an 8.7 differential. Ball striking was good. Putting and chipping was off just enough to prevent a very good score.
    • Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.
    • First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos. 
    • At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass. 
    • Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
