Nick Watney made a clutch birdie on 18 to bring the match with Ryan Moore to extra holes. First extra hole match of the day.
Martin Kaymer came on strong late to polish off Hunter Mahan. Wishful thinking pick (Mahan) was incorrect.

Luke Donald won his match over Manassero 3&2.
I don’t normally post press releases or solicitations from PR firms here. If I did, I’d post about 30-50 per day. But this particular one involves a player who I’ve always been a big fan of, Seve Ballesteros. Seve is lobbying for Madrid’s bid to host the 2018 Ryder Cup. Maybe if they win the bid, they can thank me for the help by bringing me to the 2018 RC… One can always dream.
Below is a letter from Seve. Click read more if you can’t see it.
