Ryder Cup final: Europe 18.5 USA 9.5
Europe continued it’s dominance of the USA with another convincing victory, 18 1/2 to 9 1/2. This ties the worst loss total for the USA. The European team put together some of the best golf I’ve ever seen. They made amazing shots, aces, chip-ins, 100 foot putts and more. The USA team never got anything going.
Don’t blame Lehman
Unlike Curtis Strange’s mistakes at the Belfry in 2002, you can’t blame Tom Lehman for this loss. It wouldn’t have mattered if Bobby Jones himself was coaching the U.S. team this time around. Europe was a buzz saw.
You just have to love Darren Clarke

Watching Darren Clarke finish out his match today against Zach Johnson, and break into tears just hit me pretty hard. He’d considered not playing in the Ryder Cup following the death of his wife.
He put the nail in the USA team’s coffin and then had a total emotional breakdown right on the green as he was greeted by his caddie, family, Ian Woosnam, Tom Lehman, Tiger and more. It just goes to show how much of an honorable game golf is and how honorable the players are.
Europe 10 USA 6 after day 2
The USA Ryder Cup team is toast. Tiger and Furyk managed to record only the USA’s 2nd full point of the entire cup this afternoon in the alternate shot. The European team is on fire, dropping in bombs on the greens, chipping in and even closing out matches with ACES.
The USA will have to match the unbelievable comeback of 1999 when Justin Leonard made the winning putt. Possible but not likely.
Bad camera work at the Ryder Cup
During events like this I tend to blog whatever leaks out of my cranium. Yesterday I made 5 posts and today I imagine there will be even more.
The USA team is already struggling and I don’t see it getting any better.
One thing that is bugging me about this week’s coverage is the camera work. The camera is staying on the players’ finishes so long that we aren’t even getting to see the ball finish. Sergio Garcia just hit a shot and the camera stayed on him forever. Then they cut to the green where there were two balls sitting there. I don’t know which one was Sergio’s since I didn’t see it finish.
