The most exciting event in golf, and near the top in all of sports, no? Too bad the last couple have been blowout wins by the Euros. Not this time though...our boys have a 5 1/2 - 2 1/2 lead after the fist day. That's the biggest lead by an American team after one day since 1979.

Still, the US let a couple get away on the 18th, in the last matches of both the morning and afternoon rounds. I have to wonder if we may look back and rue those missed opportunities come the Sunday singles. We could easily be up 6 1/2 - 1 1/2, which would be a big hole for the Euros to dig their way out of. Now, one good showing tomorrow, and they're right back in it.

That said, Zinger called a great game as Captain Friday. He found the perfect partner for Phil, who is getting his Ryder mojo back. The Leonard/Mahan pair is cooking too, with Mahan playing scary good.

Some great golf today, with better still to come
