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.

US really needed Furyk to halve Donald..now they need Mahan to make a comeback, really their only chance.

Fowler really turned out to be a bad pick..

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.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
