Day 1 of the 2012 Ryder Cup served as a telling point for the pairings Davis Love III and Jose Maria Olazabal had chosen to open the tournament.

The Phil Mickelson-Keegan Bradley duo looks brilliant, and ditto for selecting rookie Nicholas Colsaerts to play on his first day.

Webb Simpson and Bubba Watson vs. Justin Rose and Ian Poulter



Both of these pairs won when they were paired together Friday, so expect a dogfight for a point in this one.

Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker vs. Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell



These same four played Friday morning, and we're happy to have a second helping.
They have a bit of bad blood after Furyk disputed a rule early on in Friday's round. McIlroy merely proceeded to follow that confrontation with a merciless day on the greens. Stay...
