The Ryder Cup - Talksox

I know there aren't many golfers here, but I imagine a few of you swing the crooked sticks. For you non-golf fans, this competition is one of the best and most compelling golf events to watch on TV.

The European squad is, for the third straight time, handing the Americans their hats in the team play part of the competition. 5-3 after yesterday's matches. They are up by more than 2 holes in 3 of the 4 morning matches.

Oh yeah, and Sergio Garcia makes my top-5 of people I'd like to punch in the face.

More of the same in the morning matches. The US is scrambling to hold a lead in the last match to make the morning go 2 1/2 to 1 1/2 for the European team. That means they will be down 7 1/2 to 4 1/2 going into the afternoon 2-ball matches.

Zach Johnson is coming up huge

Zach Johnson is reason enough alone to watch this thing. The Euros start the afternoon matches making some bombs and taking the early lead in most of them.

Europe is making every big shot they need to make. Bomb putts to win holes they should have lost. About 5 or 6 chip ins to halve a hole at birdie. Casey just sank an ace to ice his match. Clarke chipped in to prevent the US from keeping a match alive. They've got it all right now. Confidence, clutch, and luck.

FYI, Sergio Garcia now has a commanding lead of first place on the People I Want to Punch in the Face List.
