    You would think the 2008 Ryder would have been a lesson. Six rookies, won by five points, played with ridiculous enthusiasm that threw the European team off.

    Didn't think I would see any of this, but had a late night in the newsroom on Friday, and it was on when I got home.

    Great stuff ... Justin Rose was on fire in the four-ball round, and Reed/Speith were locked in again. Of course, the second session (after I finally went to sleep at 4 a.m.) didn't go so well for the U.S.

    Bring on singles!

    Also, what a beautiful looking course, with perfect playing conditions. Sunny, 50-degrees, light winds ... I'm sure every fall day is like that in Scotland. ;)

    This thing was lost with the Reed/Spieth benching on Friday. Typical play well in the mornings, get smoked in foursomes.

    Finally Watson gets smart and sends out Spieth (vs. McDowell) and Reed (vs. Stenson) to start singles at 4:30 a.m. MDT.

    Fowler vs. McIlroy looks like a replay of the British and PGA from this year.

    They need a Hail Mary. It'd surprise me if they get it. But I'll still watch.

    No one was beating McIlroy in singles, but Fowler has now played eight career RC matches and still hasn't won.

    The designer of the hideous U.S. clothing line should share in the blame.

    You can buy some of those official RC jackets for something like $359.

    Great shot by Donaldson to put the exclamation point on the win.

    That's what I really like about the Ryder Cup, it hasn't become overcommercialized at all. Cough.

    Those Watson and Mickelson interviews were tense...the facial expressions told the story

    A friend e-mailed me and said the post-round press conference was priceless; can't wait to watch it later tonight.

    I don't think Watson is all that popular among playing pros.
