    don't you think Paddy Harrington was secretly rooting against Monty? i mean, Irishmen are virtually Americans by birth...and who hates the British more than a guy named Padraig? :D

    why is Europe lumped together? individual EU countries can't take the US by themselves?

    How many EU countries come even remotely close to the US in terms of population?

    The US is losing three of the four afternoon matches and is all square in the fourth. It's not looking good...

    Almost relieved that we're only 2 down after day 1.

    (Where's our Tiger?? Sergio practically called him out, and then beat him today.)
