Great. Let's sit the 2 guys that are hot! :doh:

Exactly what I thought. They looked good today, even if Poulter/Gallagher weren't top form. They looked in a zone in their interview. Keep the young guns blazing.

[CarlSpackler]

Nice approach/putt Mr. Bradley!

[Silent]

Westwood and Donaldson on the first tee.

[taxgolf]

Wow. First punch is thrown.

[teeitup22]

HUGE start for the Americans in the morning fourball. Rose/Stenson for Europe look about unbeatable so far. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Mahan will have work cut out from them in that match.

[CarlSpackler]

Wow. First punch is thrown.

Literally?

[taxgolf]

Well, I think Reed/Spieth win was not expected and a bit of a surprise.

[Crim]

Well, I think Reed/Spieth win was not expected and a bit of a surprise.

Keegan/Phil win was an even bigger surprise imo. People will finally start realizing that this year Ian Poulter just can't get it done...imo

My notes, reactions, comments after morning session:

1 The last alt. shot match is scheduled to tee off @ 2 PM British Standard Time. Alt. Shot plays quicker so all 4 matches should be on the back 9 at apx. 4 PM BST (11 am Eastern, 10 am Central, 8 am Mountain, 7 am Pacific).

2. 2 - 2 following the morning matches has stabilized things for the U.S. side for now, & not let the EUROS get that "4-ball emotional MOmentum" they are so used to.

3. The wind is averaging 25 - 30 mph. Not having watched-- How much impact has the wind had so far on play?

4. B. Watson/W. Simpson duo should be split up for Saturday 4-ball and Simpson should be sat down for the U.S. side. As for Bubba, not sure whom to pair with him with-- his level of play has been lukewarm since the Memorial and the U.S. side needs him to get things turned around soon.

[taxgolf]

Webb Simpson (and maybe Bubba) are weak i.m.o.. Furyk can't close, but who knows.

I think Westwood and Poulter are weak, only, based on history, Poulter might catch fire. Not so sure about Björn either. The USA helped itself in the underdog position, but I am not sure if that is justified.
