U.S. With A lot of Work to Do in Ryder Cup

The U.S, may currently lead 6-4 in Ryder Cup matches completed, but that's just on paper.

Team Europe was leading all six matches when darkness stopped play at Celtic Manor. The Americans still had the lead. It just didn’t feel that way. And with so much European blue on the scoreboard, it didn’t even look that way.

No points are awarded until a match is over, but it was looking good for Europe—especially with Lee Westwood and Luke Donald handing Tiger Woods one of his worst beatings ever in a Ryder Cup. They were 4 up over Woods and Steve Stricker through nine holes.

The weather for Sunday looks wet, and that could also favor the European team.   Any stoppage in play on Sunday, would result in the first Monday finish in Ryder Cup history.

In order to keep the cup, the USA will have to comeback and steal a couple of the matches currently underway.  It's going to be a tough task.  If the Americans lose, look for Corey Pavin to feel the wrath of the worldwide press.
