The European team won three out of four foursome matches in the late session while halving the other in a match Martin Kaymer and Justin Rose trailed for much of the day.

If the United States is not careful, it can lose the entire event before most of the East Coast is even awake.

When you get into that mind-set, and you just see the ball going in the hole and you sort of get those positive vibes, today was a day it all happened for me. We knew we were up against it today with two great players. Matt and Bubba played really well.
