Sergio continues his outstanding play by winning his two team matches today with Jose Maria and Luke Donald as his partners. Interesting to note that at no time in any of Sergio's 4 matches did the US lead. It was either all square or European Blue.
Just when I said yesterday that the teams aren't wearing their flag colors, both teams come out today wearing blue. I still want to know what material the European team uniforms are made of. They look a lot classier than the US team, that's for sure.
Paul Casey had a hole in one in his afternoon match today. I don't think it made that much of an impact on the result, Casey and Howell had a big lead. But it was exciting to see. I'm happy that Casey is playing better today. Hopefully it will continue tomorrow as well.
As for tomorrow's pairings for the singles matches: No one is giving Robert Karlsson a chance against Tiger Woods, but as Brian Hewitt pointed out tonight on the golf channel, Karlsson beat Jim Furyk last week at the HSBC in the first round. And I think I remember the analysts last week say that Karlsson is the birdie leader on the European tour?? Tiger may be in trouble as Johnny Miller kept saying today that it's all about birdies. (Yes, I listen to Johnny Miller, even if the American team doesn't.) Europe only needs 4 points to retain the cup. Hopefully they will get them tomorrow. Everyone was talking to Tom Lehman about Brookline and how wonderful the comeback was. The thing I know about Brookline is the part about how the Americans displayed the most outrageous example of rudeness ever by charging onto the green before Jose Maria had attempted his putt. The match wasn't over, but the arrogant Americans didn't care. Personally, I would hope no one would want to duplicate such a breach of etiquette. The Americans dare criticize Sergio's emotional displays after they way they acted in 1999. Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes and excuses because they just can't get the job done.
