0 New Ryders Cup update

About the day of which 10 matches were played as part of an enforced change to the event’s format, the U.S. team showed a 6-4 lead following a first round of four-balls and foursomes matches, however play finally drew towards a close amid fading light here, Europe had rallied to make progress in every single six matches on course on top of a captivating final session. “It was critical a couple of hours of play and we all came through it with flying colors,” said Colin Montgomerie, the European captain. “Momentum is key in these matches and we hadn’t had any. We lost phase two series. Suddenly we’re inside a, predominant position.” In the new extended third session, which comprised two foursomes and four four-ball encounters resulting from the presence Friday’s lengthy rain delay, Europe took a commanding position in each match, with all the two foursomes contests threatening to show into a rout. It absolutely was fitting that Jose Maria Olazabal had a role to play in the recovery. The Spaniard, who performed numerous Ryder Cup heroics during his career and is particularly favorite to captain the team in 2012, has been prevented from playing frontline golf forat least a year simply because of his chronic rheumatism. But he was able to attend this year’s event at Celtic Manor and was drafted into Montgomerie’s backroom team for your personal second and third sessions, hits the mark is revised format resulted in there have been six matches to evaluate instead of the usual four. “It’s super to have him on board,” said Montgomerie. “He was not allowed a buggy and as well as I felt he would struggle, but he was up for it and the adrenaline has kept him going throughout the day. It’s fantastic to have my old friend regarding the golf course with me.” In the foursomes, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald were 4-up through nine holes resistant to the U.S. pairing of David Stricker and Tiger Woods, whose hitherto dominant displays in the first two sessions had marked them out as arguably the most feared partnership of the 2010 tournament, while the Northern Irish pair of Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy were 3-up against Zach Johnson and Hunter Mahan with an opportunity to extend their lead when play resumes following McDowell’s delightful approach on the eighth just seconds before the players were brought off for bad light. “The foursomes are key games because they are the tough ones in this format,” said Montgomerie. “Rory and Graeme have done fantastic and for Luke and Lee fo be 4-up against possibly the strongest American pairing… it’s been a superb session from the moment we set off, we started winning from the first hole.” Europe also gained the upper hand in each of the four foursomes matches during a final session in which the crowd of 50,000 hassle-free Celtic Manor finally came alive, creating an electric atmosphere in which the lusty cheers must have carried to the top of the Usk River Valley. “We had to get the crowd as our 13th man back on our side by good play,” said Montgomerie. “Obviously the Americans were silencing the crowd, that’s what was happening in the first couple of sessions.” It didn’t take long for Europe to galvanize their fans this evening, though. The opening four-ball pair of Padraig Harrington and Ross Fisher took a lead at the third hole when Fished drained a 25ft putt and were 1-up against Jim Furyk and Dustin Johnson at the close. When Francesco Molinari knocked in a pin-high chip to give him and brother Eduardo a lead at the second against Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar, the crowd burst into a soccer-style chant of “There’s only two Molinaris…” The Italians were 1-up at the end of play. Ian Poulter and Martin Kaymer were 2-up against Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler at the close, justifying Montgomerie’s decision to break up his presumed No. 1 pairing of Kaymer and Westwood following this afternoon’s foursomes, while some inspired play from Peter Hanson and Miguel Angel Jimenez, who raked in a glorious 30-foot putt at the second, left them 2-up against Bubba Watson and Jeff Overton.
