Good day on the course today. Even though it did not lead to a hole win, Mickelson's right handed, backwards club shot on 5 was a thing of beauty.
We got to the 12th hole around 9:30 AM (first tee time at 11:04) and staked our claim by the ropes around the green. Stayed there for around 6 1/2 hours and saw the Americans go 6-0-6. Europe could not buy a putt on that green. Great day!
