Cink/Campbell v Rose/Poulter - Level after the first hole.

Mickelson/Kim v Harrington/Karlsson (Level after 8 holes)
Leonard/Mahan v Stenson/Casey (USA 1 up after 6 holes)
Cink/Campbell v Rose/Poulter (Europe 2 up after 5 holes)
Perry/Furyk v Westwood/Garcia (Europe 1 up after 4 holes)


Things are staying interesting. I'm hoping there'll be some highlights on when I'm working at the pub later. At least it will keep me interested.

USA 3 - 1 Europe

After the morning Foursomes.

The Europeans are doing a bit better in the afternoon Fourballs, leading in 3 and losing in 1 but there are still 9 holes or so to go and lot of time left for things to change.

We start the second day with the scores at USA 5½ Europe 2½

The second round of foursomes start at 1.05pm


1305 Stewart Cink/Chad Campbell v Ian Poulter/Justin Rose
1320 Justin Leonard/Hunter Mahan v MA Jimenez/Graeme McDowell
1335 Phil Mickelson/Anthony Kim v Henrik Stenson/Oliver Wilson
1350 Jim Furyk/Kenny Perry v Padraig Harrington/Robert Karlsson
